I am struggeling to detect the dishwasher being done, looking at the power consumption. Here are three examples of dishwashing: [Screenshot 2023-12-29 072951] [Screenshot 2023-12-29 073143] [Screenshot 2023-12-30 164803] The washing cycle could potentially be split down into segments of: rin…

Can you use time and power? Say 2 hr from when power is above 1.75KW for 10 minutes as a rough example?

In this case I could probably go with a set time from start, but all three examples show a fully loaded dishwasher with the same programme selected. The duration may change if e.g. the short programme is selected. So going with a fixed time would solve the right detection in most/standard use case,…

Yes, this is basically how I monitor my tumble dryer. But if you look at the graphs above, you will notice, that the dishwasher stays on 0W for an extended period of time although it is not yet done with it’s cycle.

An idea that comes to mind, although I don’t like it because it creates another entity, is to have create another binary sensor that goes “on” when the first sensor goes “on” and turns “off” after the first sensor has gone to “off” for the x time. This will only work when the amount of stops is fix…
