The dishwasher at my home offers several programs - normal, economy 45°, intense, pre-cleaning etc. I haven't the slightest idea what all that means (except maybe for the 45°). I never noticed any difference in the quality of dishwashing. I wonder if those programs are just different labels for the same
routine.
I'd rather have an (Open Source) API which supports all the dishwashers functions, heaters, actuators and sensors and by which I might program my own dishwashing routines. Then I might even while walking through the woods get an error message of the dishwasher which would prepare me for a totally flooded kitchen floor on my return (because I forgot to check for a "stack overflow"). To quote MaxwellBuchanan: The possibilities would be unlimitless.

Most dishwashers are designed round a fairly limited microcontroller; the popular choice for many years was the PIC16. Nothing more than a basic 8-bit CPU is needed. |
|
| |
They probably blow the write-only fuse on the PIC to stop hobbyists reading it back ... but it's not rocket surgery. Just stick a Raspberry Pi in there and the world is the aquatic bivalve mollusc of your choice. |
|

Hmm... I wonder if I could use it to cook some
bivalve mollusks... |
|

You had me at "open source" |
|

This has actually been done. Turns out dishwashers are
actually pretty simple devices, and it's not too hard to hack
one with an Arduino and a soldering iron. (see link) |
|

Not so much API, more APE. |
|
| |
Drones remove washing up from the premises, it is then
flown to a baboon enclosure where they lick everything
clean. Stuff then given a once-over with a wet-wipe,
thence conveyed back, with none the wiser, wu ha ha ha. |
|
| |
All of this is all prophesied in the Bible "All the rivers run
into the sea, and yet the sea is never full, and so the
water returns from whence the river came." Oddly not a
single mention of baboons though. Lost in translation, no? |

But, you did write "Arduino controlled dishwasher". You're just trying to confuse me. |
