App control for washers

I purchased a GE washer with smart technology the other day, and was under the impression I could control its functions with my iPhone. I can control a few, but the main things I need, dialing in a cycle, wash preferences, and starting the machine are not available. Are there any appliance brands which can be fully controlled with the smart apps and bluetooth or wifi connectivity? I've emailed GE, asking for a solution, but you all know how slow those requests move up the ladder. Any suggestions would be helpful, as I'm still in my return window for this appliance.

I'm not sure though but I have heard it mentioned on a youtube channel for blind people.

I don't have any Appliances though, so I'd listen to others who do.

Those are kinda pricy for my budget. If I can't find anything sub $1000, I'll stick with the ghetto way I'm using my GE for now. Lol

I use a Maytag washing machine with their accessible app. I did need help from a sighted person to set it up. Also, needed to use some tactile stickers to identify the buttons needed to start machine.

"I bought a Samsung washing machine and dryer in November.
From the mobile app, I can do almost everything.
The panel additionally has buttons marked in Braille for turning on, starting, a button for enabling smart control, and the others.
The knob makes a sound when changing positions, and when the menu wraps back to the first position, the sound is slightly different.
