Count home appliances cycles

Configuration
1

Hello,
I would like to have a card with the number of cycles an home appliances, like washing machine or dishwashing do and if possible count per week, month year.
I use a smart plug so I know power consumption base on that I would like to enable a counter.
It is just for statistic.
Can someone help me?

2

Perhaps something simple like a threshold helper to detect when power consumption increases, and an automation to increment counter helpers each time the threshold is crossed?

thanks this evening I’ll try.

I configured the counter, next washing cycle I’ll see if increase.
Do you know how can I count per week and per month?
Is there a risk to loose the counter?

5

Utility Meter helpers can do this.

It seems doesn’t accept binary sensor as input

Use it with the counter you created.

some like
if no power lid closed for 8 min washing done

I found the code on here somewhere and made to fit my needs

just found this

i did this
