Abstract: Systems and methods for improved laundry dosing are provided. An image of a detergent container captured by a user is received. Image recognition is performed on the image of the detergent container to identify a detergent to be used based on shape, color, text, and/or brand logo of the detergent container. Parameters of the detergent are identified based on the image recognition. A dose of the detergent is recommended and/or a controlled release of a dose of the detergent is performed for a laundry cycle of a laundry appliance according to the parameters.

Abstract: A vent system for a dryer, may include an exhaust air conduit configured to provide an airstream to a dryer; a sensor within the conduit and configured to measure the airstream; and a controller configured to receive sensor data from the sensor and determine an airflow. A method for detecting a variation in airflow through a vent of a dryer may include receiving sensor data from at least one sensor in an air conduit of a clothes dryer; determining an estimated airflow based on the sensor data; comparing the estimated airflow to a predetermined expected airflow; and adjusting the estimated airflow in response to the estimated airflow not being within a predefined margin of the predetermined expected airflow.
