I have a power monitoring plug in esphome to send a notification when the washing machine is done with the program. When the wattage drops below 8kw I receive a message. However, if the plug loses connection I also receive the notification. I don’t know what I can add as a condition to distinguish from a restart to prevent the false notification. Anyone have an idea?
No yaml?
I suspect you have the automation in ha and therefor “can” even lose connection. Just do the automation directly on your esphome node and call a ha service notification.
Otherwise you also might want to fix your wifi or whatever causes your esphome power monitoring plug to loose connection.
Thanks. I put the automation on the node. No problems since then
