Hopefully this is the best place to post this.
I have an old tumble dryer that works really well but isn’t wifi connectable. I want to look at converting it, somehow, so I can remotely start/stop via an app on my phone and maybe use some form of automation to take advantage of one of these variable electricity tarrifs.
The dryer starts via a fairly heavy push button on the front and does have a delay function but its only 3, 6 or 9 hours.
I think the best option is to put a wifi switch inline with the push start but if anyone else has done this i’d be grateful for any advice on how to go about it or devices to use.
cheers

The question is whether he will be able to press the button that poses a lot of resistance…
