This is presumably for people that don't have such a choice. I'd have a decent dryer if I didn't rent, but I do and such things are typically included, and consequently are the cheapest money can buy.

To do this I'd need to integrate the dryer sensor with a smart plug.

The cheapest dryers (electric and gas) Home Depot carries around here have moisture sensors:

I thought they were required by law these days.

This assumes the units in my building aren't 15 years old ;)

Should have specified I'm not US :)
