I need help creating a flow

[finn1]

Hi,
i have integrated my Samsung Dryer into HA,
it tells me when it is ready, In Lovelace it says for example “in 10 Minutes”, however the state tells the time it will be ready:

I want to create a flow so my alexa echo tells me when it is ready.
But I don’t know how to do that, if the state would contain the Minutes until it´s ready i would have simply created a events:state = 0 Minutes.

My idea was a node that tells the time like every 20 seconds, and if that node and the node with the completition time are the same HH:MM (without seconds) it triggers my echo.
But unfortunately i don´t have the knowledge how to do that.
Or is there a simpler solution?

From there I know what to do so my echo says something.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank in Advance,
Finn

You can connect an event state node, just enter the entity and nothing else. Connect to debug and in the drop down choose complete msg object. This will give you the full message that comes from the sensor. It usually isn’t just state.

Run the dryer, look at the final messages it sends. You should be able to find something in there that is only sent at the end. You can then use a switch node to filter and send only the final message to a call service node(alexa) command.

Use copy path from the debug info in the change node.
