I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    The cost of the laundry subscription is likely to vastly out cost the energy savings it may provide.

      Ya it’s a shit idea to go subscription in any situation. You really do not need any kind of ongoing updates/subscription unless the product was built around a subscription model. If it can done mechanically on basic programmable outlets then it can be coded the same way. I would be fine buying a laundry machine, asking my utilities provider what time to run it, and then programming that into the machine manually.
