If your smart washing machine or dryer reports its status through a sensor, why not use that directly?

If you’re looking to receive notifications based on those states and would like to use a blueprint, you may find my :round_pushpin: State Notifications & Actions blueprint useful.

If you’d like to use this blueprint, you can create a Template Sensor helper that converts the appliance’s states into numeric values. For example, set the sensor to 10 when the appliance is running and 0 when it is not running . You can then use this template sensor as the trigger for the blueprint.

Exmple:

{% if is_state('sensor.washing_machine_status', 'running') %}
  10
{% else %}
  0
{% endif %}

or for many states

{% if states('sensor.washing_machine_status') in ['running', 'washing', 'spinning', 'drying'] %}
  10
{% else %}
  0
{% endif %}
