How to send a Push Notification when the Washing Machine ist ready

Plugins & Plugin Development Reactor
#1

Hi All,
I would like to send a notification to my wifes phone (android) when the washing machine is done. During the cycle the current consumption drops to zero several times which makes it difficult to know when to trigger the notification. I think something like this: If power is > 10 watt(for 2 minutes = machine has started), wait until power is < 10 watt (for 5 minutes) then send a notification. a push in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tom

If the plug that the appliances are connected to can measure power, you can just test those state variables using Device State conditions. Add a “delay reset” or “sustained for” to “debounce” the value.

See:

Thank you! Playing around i think i have a solution. Ups i think the second device state must be at least 300 seconds and not within!?
Look at this:

Probably need to be in separate subgroups. Make one group to contain the >10 condition, and one to contain the <10 condition. You can then put the actions on the group in Activities.

My general preference is that you post a Logic Summary (Tools tab) rather than a screen shot, as the screen shot rarely shows the full story.

Hi Patrik,
hope you enjoyed Chrismas. I’m testing this now.

may be this will work :wink:

That will not work. You’ve put both conditions in an AND group, one condition checking if watts < 10, the other checking if > 10. They cannot both be true at the same time (AND means all conditions in the group must be true for the group to go true), so the group will never go true.

Your two test conditions need to go into separate groups.
