A control method for a smart clothes treatment system, solving the problem that an existing linkage method is more suitable for application to a system of associated home appliances that work with the same operating parameters and the linkage mobility and the degree of intelligence are not good. The control method of the smart clothes treatment system can automatically recommend care parameter information of a clothes care device according to washing parameter information of a clothes washing device, so that the clothes care device can directly operate on the basis of the recommended care parameter information. The control method can be appliable to a combination of linkage home appliances having different types of operating parameters such as the clothes washing device and the clothes care device, so that multiple home appliances having a large difference in operating parameters can perform linkage operation on the basis of a specific matching scenario.

A dryer appliance includes a microphone for monitoring sound generated during operation of the dryer appliance and a controller is operably coupled to the microphone. The controller is configured for obtaining a sound signal generated during operation of the dryer appliance and converting the sound signal into a spectrogram that represents a sound frequency and a sound amplitude over time. An artificial intelligence image recognition process is used to analyze the spectrogram to identify one or more sound signatures that are associated with particular operating conditions, and operation of the dryer appliance is adjusted based at least in part on the identification of the sound signature.
