Two reasons I use it:

1. Washing machine is not in my home, I walk through my garden to get to it. I’m lazy so I want to know when it’s finished before I get disappointed. Either via mobile or tv.

2. I can turn it on when my solar panels are at their highest output. Which is very handy when I’m at work for example. I just load it up and when it’s good to go I turn it on.

So, data like this is very bad. But I do see a use in the internet connection
