Abstract
A remote control method for a washing machine, includes the following steps: between a mobile terminal and the washing machine, a control channel configured to transmit a control instruction and a status feedback channel configured to transmit a working status of the washing machine are established; whether the washing machine is triggered is detected; and if yes, the control channel is cut off, and the status feedback channel is maintained; and if not, the control channel and the status feedback channel are maintained. After a triggering operation is directly performed on the washing machine, the control channel is cut off, that is, remote control of the mobile terminal is cut off, and only a user near the washing machine controls and operates the washing machine, which ensures the running safety of the washing machine.
