Hello @Blacky , juste have found your BP yesterday
I tried to configure it, but it doesnât work
would you mind to have a look ?
thank you very much

Looks like you added your entity ID in your custom end notification. Below is the new code.

Hi Blacky, I didnât find a âfeature requestâ section, so I try to reach you here:
FEATURE REQUST: Please include a âwater meterâ usage entity and notification, with the same functionality as the power usage entity and message.
I have an entity incrementing total water usage in cubic meters and would like the blueprint to include the used water, when it reports the power usage at the end of the washing cycle.
thx for the great blueprint and your active contribution to our fantastic user experience in home-assistant!
Hi @Blacky I have a suggestion.
In your opinion is is possible to add another number helper to works like a counter of the events that the appliance is used?
Below my idea:
Tumble dryer but also washing machine and dishwasher require maintenance so my idea was to have a counter that when becomes for example 10 ( so when the appliance has been used 10 times, and so the automation notified the end 10 times) will trigger a notification to remind âhey maybe itâs time to look at the filterâ
What do you think?
I havenât really started monitoring water usage as the amount is not much and I not sure how cost effective it is to have water meters on every appliance. I will however put it on the list.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Finally it all works fine for all my BP

You can create a helper, (counter) and add that to the global actions (end) part of the automation.
So that when the switch is turned off after a cycle, after a certain amount of time, the counter adds +1. That is how I do it.
After that you can add a step that will inform you when a certain number of steps has been reached.
But of course, Blacky can integrate this far more better in his BPđ!

I have been using this BP for my washing machine and itâs been working great.
Recently we have been running an extra manual spin cycle straight after the main wash cycle.
Would there be an easy way to differentiate these and have the notification adjusted accordingly?
Example:
- Regular Washing Cycle Finished
- Spin Cycle Fnished.
I see there is an option to enable duration. Not sure if that value could be used to determine cycle type? The wash cycle is typically longer than just a spin cycle.
Thanks.
Hello,
Installed and configured triggers to detect start and stop and created 2 different messages to go to my phone telling "started " and âfinishedâ.
Strangely, I get both timess the message âstartedâ, also at the end? I used the configurator UI so did not write code myself. Any obvious mistake you know of?
Kind regards

Welcome to the community.
Could you please provide us your YAML of the automation? This YAML code are the settings you have selected in the automation so I can help. To do this go into your automation, top right 3 dots, Edit in YAML, copy all the code, come back to the forum and in your reply at the top tool bar click on â</>â and paste code in there.

No worries.
My scripting knowledge is limited, so I ended up creating two BPs and a helper & template sensor, then using them in the BP global conditions to determine if it is a âwash cycleâ or âspin cycleâ.

I am using this BP to monitor a number of appliances, till now working great!
But one of them is giving me a slight headache. As of yesterday the notification doesnât work anymore with the message from Spook as a result. I tried to search for this double mentioning of my cell phone but I canât find it. Not in the automation itself, not in the yaml.
The automation itself is working, just the notification is corrupt.
Of course I restarted, CTRL-F5, disabled and re-enabled my phone in the automation, but as soon as I do, the same error.
Where can I look for this?

Extra info: since Iâm using Watchman in the background I saw that it mentioned a number of ânotify.mobile_app_â missing in both appliance and low battery yamlâs.
So I added for every line, (according to Watchman): sm_g998b in the appliance and battery-yaml under blueprints > automations > Blackshome. But after that the issue with the âcombi ovenâ automation started.
I was checking that first of course, but again, I couldnât see any doublings.
Just so you know.
That is the problem, it not good to edit the blueprint code. Click on the import blueprint again at the top. It should fix the code you edited back to the original. There is a new release for this out now that I am doing anyway.
