It works 
… thanks 
i just noticed that i had to launch a dryer, then a quick “re-dry” and it notified me once correctly then with a negative consumption… i’ll have to confirm this and try to gather more info
Make sure you have a start and a end helper (2 helpers) and make sure nothing else is using it (another automation). You kWh should go up not down and your cost should be positive. Let me know if that is not the case.

Hi,
First of all, a word of praise: Very cool blueprint!
Now to my problem 
With my dishwasher, the maximum 5 minute End - Power Time Delay is not enough. My dishwasher is virtually finished and drops to under 1W. But then it still needs about 20 to 30 minutes until it is finally finished. I think it still uses the residual heat for drying.
I now get the finished notification from the automation, but my dishwasher still shows that it is running for quite a while.
Unfortunately, I can’t enter 20 minutes in the field, for example, it is immediately framed in red and the message says that a maximum of 5 minutes is allowed.
Current I have two automations for my washer. One is to notify when it hits rinse so I can add fabric softener because my machine has no dispenser. Both have the same starting power but the second one checks if a helper for a fabric softener switch is on. If so when it gets below 13w for 4 minutes it’ll notify to add fabric softener and turn off the helper so that it doesn’t notify for fabric softener again when the wash is finished. Then the washer finished script runs when it’s under 5 watts for 5 minutes.
Is there any simpler way to do this with this blueprint instead of needing 2 automations?
Firstly welcome to the community 
Currently you would need to use two automation. Most current washing machines have a automatic fabric softener but I will add this to my list for further consideration and talk to family and friends about this.

I could have figured it out myself. Thought it wouldn’t work because the description says 5 minutes. I will test it, thank you!
Thanks for considering it. I rent and when they replaced my old washer they went with a cheap GE top loader. I honestly would have paid the difference if they let me choose a better model lol
Having 2 scripts should be less of an issue now that they’re adding organization features to the next home assistant.
Yeah no problem, hopefully they can update you.

If you are using the energy cost notification then this would be a power monitoring plug or device. You would select the Total Energy entity so that the script can obtain the consumption and operate off that.
Then you need to add a Utility Meter as a helper and point it at the “Washing Machine power” sensor. This will accumulate the W valve over time and give you back a kWh energy valve instead.
Apologies if I’ve missed this in this elsewhere in this thread. Amazing blueprint, but Is it possible to add a door sensor (just a binary contact sensor) so that I can set a notification/action of some sort to start repeating every 15 mins which can then be stopped automatically when the door has been opened?
Welcome to the community.
Currently there is no option for this, I will put it on the list of suggestions.
