Could you build this?

Partial The SmartThings Edge driver and CLI are standard code, but local control of an old Samsung washer depends on reverse-engineering its undocumented Wi-Fi protocol, which vibe coding cannot do alone.

What it would actually take: The UI and integration layers (SmartThings Edge driver, Homebridge plugin, CLI) are conventional Lua/JavaScript work an AI assistant can produce. The hard part is capturing and decoding the washer's local protocol, which requires packet sniffing on the LAN, the physical appliance, and some embedded or network-protocol reverse-engineering experience to map commands and state.
