Abstract
A laundry machine appliance including an imaging device configured to view a wash chamber, and a method for operation, are provided. The method includes operating the imaging device toward the wash chamber, and determining, via the imaging device, whether a detergent is provided to the wash chamber. When determined that the detergent is provided, via the user, to the wash chamber, the method transmits a communications signal to a user to determine whether a user wants detergent to be supplied, via the dispenser, to the wash basket. The method dispenses, via a dispenser, detergent to the wash chamber, when the user requests dispensation of detergent by the dispenser. When determined that the detergent is not provided, via the user, to the wash chamber, the method obtains a user control signal corresponding to a command for starting a wash cycle and dispensing, via the dispenser, detergent to the wash chamber.
