Abstract
A remote control method for a washing machine includes the following steps: establishing, between a mobile terminal and the washing machine, a control channel used to transmit a control instruction and a status feedback channel used to transmit a working status of the washing machine; obtaining status information of the washing machine; and when the status information does not match preset information by which the mobile terminal remotely controls the washing machine, cutting off the control channel, and maintaining the status feedback channel. When the washing machine is remotely controlled by the mobile terminal, corresponding state conditions are controlled in a centralized manner, preset information by which the mobile terminal is allowed to remotely control the washing machine is formed, and then it is determined whether real-time status information of the washing machine matches the preset information, so that safety of the remote control method is improved.
