Hi,
thanks alot for the blueprint :slight_smile:

I have 2 questions.

  1. is it possible to add my own notification service ? i have a notification service called notify.whatsapp_yves to get my HA messages

  2. 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

    entity_id:
    • binary_sensor.1_detect_waschmaschine_start

I will PM you

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?

Have a look at this, and let me know if this helps you. Click Here

Thanks, I already see it :smiley:
I changed Start - Power Time Delay so we will see.

You will probably need to look at the “End - Power Time Delay”

Blacky :smiley:

52

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

53

Okay I got it, let me have a look at it tonight.

New update about to be released. Test it out and let us know how you go.

New Update 1.7

New Feature :new:

  • 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 :slight_smile:

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.

Hi Blacky,

First of all, thank you for the blueprint. It works wonderfully so far. Just a note: I was a little confused by the slider for “End - Power Time Delay”, as the value can be set to a maximum of 10 minutes. Only later did I understand that I can also enter a value manually and it works. In my case, the washing machine takes a 15-minute break in between (soaking?). Anyway, I got it solved.

To my actual problem:

I use Actions for the notifications because I don’t just send a message to the phone, but also because I use different dependencies on who gets a message when and how. For a better understanding I have posted my config below.

If I set the fields
Start Notify - Devices Notified When Started
End Notify - Devices Notified When Finished
fields are left empty, the entire script does not run.

Is there a way how I can run the script without filling these fields ? Can I use some kind of dummy ? Do you have an idea for me?
