📳 Appliance Notifications & Actions - Washing Machine - Clothes Dryer - Dish Washer - ETC

Mine runs as well, what I am seeing is the time of the last run of the automation does not change.

@bschatzow

If you’re certain the automation just ran (or is running), you may be checking the wrong one.

  1. Go to Settings > Automations & Scenes > Blueprint (tab at the top).
  2. Locate the blueprint Appliance Notifications & Actions.
  3. Click the ⋮ (three dots) on the right and select Show automations using this blueprint.
  4. Review the list of automations shown and check if the one you’re after is there.

Thanks for your help. I deleted it and I recreated it. I’ll let you know tomorrow how it works.

@Blacky is there any chance you could add custom actions for the reminders as well? The custom actions are helpful for people that use a telegram chat for notifications rather than than the HA app ones, plus it would allow the ability to trigger other actions to alert.

This would also be appreciated for those of us who use notification groups. Updating a few groups is easier than updating tons of individual automations.

I take it back, it’s there at the bottom (second to last). Guess I was overwhelmed with all the options

I started over and it still doesn’t work. Not sure what I am missing? The Input end helper never updates.
It stops at the first step.

The new yaml file

alias: "Dryer from Bluetooth "
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackshome/appliance-notifications.yaml
  input:
    power_sensor: sensor.dryer_3rsp02028bz_power
    include_end_notify: enable_end_notify_options
    end_notify_device:
      - 35a30b2f296c6cc8c80679d3ce2d358d
    end_message_title: Dryer
    end_message: Dryer finished!
    end_notify_icon: mdi:tumble-dryer-off
    include_power_tracking: enable_power_tracking
    power_consumption_sensor: sensor.dryer_3rsp02028bz_instantaneous_demand
    start_power_consumption: input_number.dryer_machine_start_kwh
    end_power_consumption: input_number.dryer_machine_end_kwh

This is the only automation that uses your blueprint. My dryer automation with no features continues to run correctly.

alias: Dryer is done
