Method for setting a time of a release of a cleaning agent during a cleaning cycle in a household appliance

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising instructions for execution of a method for setting a time of a release of a cleaning agent during a cleaning cycle in a household appliance, the method comprising:

• measuring an evolution over time of at least one local parameter inside the household appliance, the at least one local parameter comprising at least one among an acceleration induced by the cleaning cycle in the household appliance and a temperature inside the household appliance;
• obtaining reference patterns of evolutions over time of the at least one local parameter inside household appliances during at least one cleaning cycle comprising different cleaning steps, a cleaning step among the different cleaning steps being adapted for releasing the cleaning agent at a predetermined adapted time;
• comparing the evolution over time of the at least one local parameter to the reference patterns and identifying a cleaning step within the cleaning cycle when a difference between a reference pattern and the evolution over time of the at least one local parameter is below a predetermined threshold, and
• setting the release of the cleaning agent at the predetermined adapted time within the identified cleaning step when the identified cleaning step corresponds to a cleaning step adapted for releasing the cleaning agent.
