Hi, I had to re-install my HA and used this blue[rint before. I believe ir was version 1.4. I used telegram together a notification when the appliance finishes. Now I installed 1.5 but it isn’t working. I set the start power to 5 watt for 1 minute (settings I used before) but I don’t receive any telegram messages.
Hi, thanks for the blueprint.
I still have an adjustment, could you increase the end power time delay, for example to 30 minutes?
Towards the end, my dishwasher has a rest period of 20-30 minutes according to the timer, after which it works briefly again until it is finished.
You could possibly also install a time period function, as a rule you know how long the machine works every day, so you can already specify that within, for example, 2 hours, the automation knows that there is no need to react here and only then End - Power Time Delay is activated. It’s just an idea, I’m not sure if it’s practical.
Or a function that waits at the end for a sequence that can last from X min to X min and then you can switch to End - Power Time Delay.
I checked again, 30 minutes passed in this rest phase, then the power consumption went up again for 2 minutes and then the machine was finished.
It would be great if you could also use a service as a push in your blueprints, for example to send the notification to Telegram/Whatsapp. So only push to the HA app is possible.

Agree, I will need to fix this. Stay tuned for the update.

It may have to do with the custom actions. I am going to do an update. Stay tuned for the update.

Thanks a lot for the fix!

Hi,
thanks alot for the blueprint 
I have 2 questions.
-
is it possible to add my own notification service ? i have a notification service called notify.whatsapp_yves to get my HA messages
-
it would be awesome to get the consumed power and costs within that message. Now i do this with helpers but this doesn’t work that nice and i get many messages that for e.g. the washing machine is ready and starts and again and again. Here is a script example for my Messages

Great blueprint but I get false positive notifications of washing ends when I set postpone. My washing machine spins the drum few times to calculate correct elapsed time based on weight and then sleeps until postpone time. This triggers automation and sends me end washing notification.
Would it be possible to verify that the washing machine is running for at least 15min?
Thanks, I already see it
I changed Start - Power Time Delay so we will see.

You will probably need to look at the “End - Power Time Delay”
Blacky
But I don’t want to delay end. I want to get notification immediately but only if washing machine is running longer than 15 minutes to avoid notification after startup weighing
Okay I got it, let me have a look at it tonight.

New Feature 
- Running - Dead Zone - Once the appliance starts, you can implement a dead zone to prevent a false end trigger. This is particularly useful when the power briefly dips below the appliance’s end setpoint during the cycle after startup. Setting the running dead zone beyond this point ensures a reliable conclusion by preventing a premature end trigger.

Pretty cool update. I like it
Another optional feature request: why not calculate the consumption in Wh/kWh (end-start = consumption per washing pass

Love your work, you made the hard things simple and easy, Ima fan of blueprints! lets goooooooo!
Nice thanks…
If we look back at this post it is very similar every cycle. Not sue if it would give value. Maybe you ca give me more information on the why.
