Hey,

Thanks for the great automation. I have just bought a new washing machine and dryer which actually reports the state of the device through a sensor i.e.running etc. I appreciate this could be picked up editing the YAML but would you consider and option to add other ways to identify the applince state away from power?

Thanks!

I have tested it here using your settings and it worked but not your not using the End Reminder Status and the End - Attended Status as these settings are in the End Notify section and your not using it so you only get the Start Status and the End Status.

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

If youā€™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 youā€™d like to use this blueprint, you can create a Template Sensor helper that converts the applianceā€™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 %}

ok so im pretty sure this is a simple fix but after trying to figure it out and failing i figured id ask :slight_smile:

how does one signal that they have cleaned the drums and rubbers so that this is ommitted from each ā€˜washing is doneā€™ notification?

I will do a FAQ for this. See below.

FAQ: How do I reset the service reminders?

Hi,

i try to use your blueprint, but it donā€™t work for me. I get stuck at the same position as hansolu. It looks, like it doesnā€™t react.
grafik.
Should be below 15. Stays by 10 for one hour.

I found it myself. Just turn Start & End notification on

By any chance, are you going to add Live Activities notification? I have added it as custom action for now. Very basic, just a counter.
