Or a basic, extra-low-heat, timed dry cycle.
See also: "smart" light bulbs. I still don't see how "digging out my phone and unlocking it, finding the app, finding the desired bulb, turning it on or off" is superior to "flip a switch". I tried a batch of these so-called smart bulbs for a bit. I went back to manual switches within 2 days.
