How to set up delay start or end timer on your washing machine

[Samsung_Ruby]

You can set the time that you want your washing machine to finish your wash. You can choose a delay of between 3 to 19 hours in 1-hour increments. The hour displayed indicates the time when the cycle will finish. To check your exact model, consult your user manual.

For example, if you wanted to finish a 2-hour cycle an hour later you could begin the cycle at 2:00 and have it finish by 5:00. Effectively the start of the wash is delayed, creating a delayed end. 

Using the SmartThings App

This only lets you set an end time.

The ability to set a start time would be very useful, please consider adding this in future.

Example use cases:

 - In the evening you want to set up the wash to start in the morning and for it to finish as soon as possible. It might estimate 6 hours before it measures the load, but actually the wash+dry is shorter so even if you try to estimate the desired end time it will always be off anyway.

- If you have cheap rate electricity at a certain time, you want to to start immediately when that cheap rate starts.

Why not just put a start timer? 
end Delay? Why why why - so far not loving my new washer

I was unpleasantly surprised to find out that I cannot set a start timer but just end timer. I want a start timer with delays 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes up to 24 hours. Just as same as electrolux machines have. Why reinvent the wheel? Honestly if I knew there is not this option, I would never buy it. Sorry but this is a completely fail for a modern washing machine from 2024. Please do a proper UX research.
