Washer / Dryer SmartPhone Alerts

Did you ever forget to take your laundry out of the washing machine?
If you've ever left a load in your washing machine, this idea is for you, a washer and dryer that let you know when the load is finished, so you don't accidentally leave them in too long.
All it would take is a simple App that pairs your washer and dryer to your SmartPhone via WiFi. Once you set it up, you will get an instant alert, as long as you're in your house.
A more advanced system would take one extra step, which would be to link the washer and dryer to a central server that can even send messages to regular cell phones via SMS / Text Messages.
In either case, the main objective is to know exactly when a load is ready.
As the Internet of Things continues to expand, my guess is just about any appliance that takes a while to complete a task will have some functionality to send alerts. This includes ovens, sprinkler systems, and dishwashers, to name a few.
