i had to replace a washer recently, and NOTHING is without "smart" now...
But... It can be useful. I deny-listed the washing machine's MAC address from the WLC just in case. Whenever the washer is powered on, it broadcasts a SSID for "setup." I use SNMP calls to my WLC and presence detection in Home Assistant to detect the rogue AP. When the Rogue AP goes away, I get a home assistant alert for the washing machine being done.
