Dishwashing appliance and communication-based operation thereof
A method of operating a dishwashing appliance includes receiving, at an external device, an input indicative of a characterization of a load of items inside an other appliance and determining a change in the characterization the load of items inside the other appliance based on the received input. The method also includes operating a wash cycle of the dishwashing appliance in response to the change in the characterization of the load of items inside the other appliance.
1 . A method of operating a dishwashing appliance, comprising:
determining, by an external device, registration of an other appliance and the dishwashing appliance;
characterizing a load of items inside the other appliance;
determining a change in the characterization of the load of items inside the other appliance; and
operating a wash cycle of the dishwashing appliance in response to the change in the characterization of the load of items inside the other appliance,
wherein the wash cycle comprises an optimized glass cycle configured to clean glassware.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the other appliance is a wine cooler, wherein the change in the characterization of the load of items is a decrease in the load of items inside the wine cooler.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising suggesting, by the external device, the wash cycle of the dishwashing appliance based on the change in characterization of the load of items in the other appliance.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, during the optimized glass cycle, the method comprises rinsing glassware with rinse aid additives.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising notifying, by the external device, to add wash additives into the dishwashing appliance.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the optimized glass cycle comprises spraying a specified volume of water from a spray assembly.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the optimized glass cycle comprises spraying heated water from a spray assembly, wherein the method further comprises heating water to a specified temperature before spraying from the spray assembly.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein characterizing the load of items inside the other appliance further comprises receiving, at the external device, a first measurement from a controller of the other appliance.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising comparing, at the external device, the first measurement from the controller of the other appliance to a second measurement.
10 . A method of operating a dishwashing appliance, comprising:
receiving, at an external device, an input indicative of a characterization of a load of items inside an other appliance;
determining a change in the characterization the load of items inside the other appliance based on the received input; and
operating a wash cycle of the dishwashing appliance in response to the change in the characterization of the load of items inside the other appliance,
wherein the wash cycle comprises an optimized glass cycle configured to clean glassware.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the other appliance is a wine cooler, wherein the change in the characterization of the load of items is a decrease in the load of items inside the wine cooler.
12 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising suggesting, by the external device, the wash cycle of the dishwashing appliance based on the change in characterization of the load of items in the other appliance.
13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein, during the optimized glass cycle, the method comprises rinsing glassware with rinse aid additives.
14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising notifying, by the external device, to add wash additives into the dishwashing appliance.
15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the optimized glass cycle comprises spraying a specified volume of water from a spray assembly.
16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the optimized glass cycle comprises spraying heated water from a spray assembly, wherein the method further comprises heating water to a specified temperature before spraying from the spray assembly.
17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the characterization of the load of items inside the other appliance further comprises receiving, at the external device, a first measurement from a controller of the other appliance.
18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising comparing, at the external device, the first measurement from the controller of the other appliance to a second measurement.
