What if your dishwasher could remind your kids to unload the dishes instead of you? That’s exactly the kind of magic that can happen when you use the S’moresUp app.

S’moresUp is a smart family organizer that helps you keep track of everything from appointments to allowance. The handy app has now partnered with Home Connect to roll out a brand new feature that will make your life even easier.

Working in combination with the Home Connect technology featured in Bosch’s line of smart appliances you can manage home appliances with voice control. This means you can have your appliances tell your kids when it’s time to unload the washing machine or put away the clean dishes.

When the dishwasher finishes a load it will simply assign the task to “unload the dishes” to your kids via the app and the dishwasher’s voice control feature. The new S’moresUp app feature will be compatible with appliances made by the entire BSH group appliances like Bosch, Thermador, Gaggenau and more.

“Technology advances have changed the way companies operate and people across the globe communicate. It’s time that parents benefit from emerging technology as well,” said Priya Rajendran, CEO and co-founder of S’moresUp. “We’re pleased to share that with this collaboration, technology is unlocking new ways to assist busy parents, while helping kids learn responsibility, self-reliance, and other critical life skills.”
