Access to Samsung washers and dryers in HA without SmartThings? (lemmy.ml)

I have a set of Samsung washer and dryer that can be hooked up to Samsung SmartThings. I have no interest in making a Samsung account and having my washers and dryers communicate with anything outside of my network.

But since it has some kind of "smart" functionality, I was wondering whether anyone has been able to get this information without ever onboarding it with SmartThings?

Both machines set up their own WPA2-protected WiFi network when running.

That’s what I do with my dumb washer and dryer. Notifications when the washer and dryer are done, and nagging reminders if the washer is done, but the system doesn’t see the dryer turn on after some time (eg the wet clothes are still in the washer). If the washer finishes, but the dryer is still running, it tells me that too, then waits for the dryer to finish before resuming the wet clothes notifications.
