Dishwasher states, and done notification

1

Hey all so this one is kinda bit longer and a bit harder one, I’m still in kinda early stages of HA even thou the things I’m trying are getting a bit more advanced, so if possible simple language and simple solutions :slight_smile:

I’ve already tried my luck on HA discord but since it’s not such a popular problem / automation I was suggested to try my luck out here :slight_smile:

I’m having a dumb dishwasher attached with Aqara smart socket that shows power so I can measure the usage see when and how long it’s being used and so on.

What I’m looking for:

A way to get a automated card that states the estimated time left for each of these programs we use at household, the times I’ve added are the ones that I get at the beginning when I choose my program on the dishwasher, and the links I’ve added show the last measurements for each program I’ve took.

Normal ( 2:23 ) Imgur: The magic of the Internet , Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Normal quick ( 1:38 ) Imgur: The magic of the Internet , Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Full ( 2:43 ) Imgur: The magic of the Internet , Imgur: The magic of the Internet

And lastly im also looking for a notification that I would get when the dishwasher is done :slight_smile:

If any additional info needed, just ask :slight_smile:

With the use of a binary_sensor, you can make the dishwasher (partly) smart.
Below example shows when the dishwasher start its program and when the program ended.

The sensor goes on when the power consumption is more than 17W, and goes off when the power stays more than 30 minutes below 17W.

template:
  - binary_sensor:
      - name: 'Dishwasher'
        icon: 'mdi:dishwasher'
        state: '{{ states("sensor.dishwasher_power") | float(0) > 17 }}'
        device_class: moving
        delay_off:
          minutes: 30

Now all you have to do is check the binary_sensor to send the “dishwasher is done” notification.

Thanks I will definitely try Your option ! :slight_smile: but somehow something super simple like trigger, usage below 0,1w does the end notification for me, so far without problems, even though it feels kinda wrong :smiley: any ideas about the time left thing ?…
