Status for time remaining, wash cycle, delayed start timers, rinse aid levels, etc. It also logs diagnostic info for the mechanics to help a tech troubleshoot a repair… Info about the heater, motor, temp sensor, etc.
I also see the occasional spike for tiny firmware updates.
Sending that to whom? Why is that information leaving your house? Do you want LG to know about your dishes? If it stayed inside the network, that would be one thing, but I wouldn’t want information like that on the Internet.
The appliance status and logs are stored in the cloud so you can retrieved them when the appliance is off.
Also the web is used for push notifications and for checking for firmware updates.
I’m not doing anything my CS professors would be proud of. I’m not digging into the services or anything, I’m just using the Thin Q app and seeing what statuses and logs it’s pulling back for the client UI.
Seems like something that could easily be 200K of network traffic to run and monitor the appliance’s cleaning session. Nothing looks alarming.
This wash cycle is sponsored by jockey! Time for some new underwear. I can’t wait to have to watch a 30 second unskipable ad to use an appliance I own.

you really think it takes that much data to send a small compressed json or xml file with just the pertinent data?
It doesn’t, but it’s also software being developed by a kitchen appliance devision, so I set my bar low.
It’s judging your underwear.
