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.
Blacky
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.
