Clothes Dry Notification (Opt-In) What it does: Your dryer will send you a push notification when its current cycle is complete. What it does for you: Alerts you precisely when the dryer is done, so you can get the next load started and move on to other things.

Smart Delay (Opt-In) What it does: When energy demand is high, it gives you the option to delay starting a dryer cycle until demand levels are lower. What it does for you: You can feel good about giving a little back to the environment. Some consumers may even see a lower energy bill.
