Hi,
I’ve a siemens connected dishwasher, I would like to start it automatically when I generate enough solar panel(let’s say at least that I export at least 2kw).
The 2kw part is easy, but I’m strugling to check if the diswhaser is in a state where I can start it:
I’ve several state for it:
Operation State: (Run, Ready, Finished)
Door: (Open, Closed)
So my first try was to say, when I produce enough, and that the dishwasher door is closed and the state is ready, then launch the dishwasher. Here is my automation:
description: "Start dishwasher when enough power"
mode: single
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id:
- sensor.grid_export_power
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 15
seconds: 0
above: 2
condition:
- condition: and
conditions:
- condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.lave_vaisselle_door
state: "off"
- condition: state
entity_id: sensor.lave_vaisselle_operation_state
state: Ready
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 5
seconds: 0
action:
- type: turn_on
device_id: af59a88273788a4573d17914afb5eff4
entity_id: 91d39579b6451f67df418b8e4f5565ef
domain: switch
- service: switch.turn_on
metadata: {}
data: {}
target:
entity_id: switch.lave_vaisselle_power
The issue is that the dishwasher stay in the “Finished” state for just 1 min, and then goes in the “ready mode”.
So when I produce enough, my dishwasher goes in an infinite loop of washing cycle.
I wish I could say: only run this when the door has been through the door state “Open”, after the state has been set to Finished/Ready.
Basically to say that the door has been opened since the last time it finished(which would mean we did unloaded it).
Any idea how to have such complex condition? I’m lost, because this involve some “timing”.
