It's not very useful. But, I can start a program from an app which is a lot easier than understanding all the little logos on the unit. Plus I have more flexibility to tweak it, like be faster or gentler or schedule it to cheaper electricity hours all much more easily and intuitively than in the panel.
Also timer, remote start, and letting me know when it's done are something I might use once in a blue moon.
Can I live without it, hell yes, but is it a totally useless gimmick... Well 50/50.
I don't get the remote start, you should never start them if you're away from your home. Gonna flood or burn your house down.
At least in my case, its electric
Electric dryer can still catch fire on heat mode by lint accumulation that blocks air flow.
Rather safe on no heat mode, though.
Funnily enough static discharge is common in dryer house fires regardless of the type of dryer you have. It's usually the lint that gets set on fire.
