Ideas on how to do

1

Hello,
I just wondering if i can get some input on how you would do in this case.
If you having a washing machine (in this case) and known data is.
Off = 0 watt
standby = 1 to 2 watt
Operation = 2 to XXXX watt
And you want to have a notification only when it go back to Standby. Not when turn it on first time so it go to Standby, then to operation. Only when it goes back…(it means its finished washing).
I just want to know best solution, so i start in correct way.
Does my English make sense?? LOL

Hi @PatrikE

You can use a Numeric State trigger for this. You can set it to Below 2. Only when the power consumption goes from above 2 to below 2 will your automation trigger.

Something like this:

platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.kitchen_washing_machine_outlet_power
below: 2

The name of your entity will probably be different.

This Blueprint works really well for this exact use case:
