I haven’t seen a washer with a 30min soak step 
is it a special program to remove stains or is it happening on (most likely the beginning of) every cycle?
What I did see a lot though, are washers with a broken heater or a broken pump, resulting in an atypical energy pattern as well.
which would also be a valuable information, and leads to new monetizing possibilities: “Due to power investigations, it seems your washing mashine is broken. Why not try this one: www.amazon.com/any-washing-mashine?affilitate_code=xlarry” 
Thank you for the information!
Hi @arganto ,
Would be interested in the power consumption as well. Can you tell me how you did that with the Rest API?
Thanks,
Robert
Unfortunately I moved away from Laundrify to a completely local working plug, where I have the energy and power directly in the integration.
But did is this way before
sensor:
- platform: rest
name: "Trockner"
resource: "http://ìp/status"
value_template: '{{ value_json["power"]["watts"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "W"
scan_interval: 30
When will the power comsumption be available in HA? It is available in the App for a few good month now.
I just received my first two laundrify plugs - working pretty well so far.
I understood that right now the HA integration does not include the actual power consumption.
I also noticed that it’s available locally via http://ip-of-the-plug/status .
And usually I’d actually prefer that, but my basement is not connected to my local network (MiFi router with sim card).
So, is there a way to retrieve the consumption via the API (https://api.laundrify.de) already?
Interesting, didn’t know that.
How cann u display the power copnsumption from the ip-status in HA?
@arganto, I try to implement my Laundrify Trockner like you shown above. But I´m not sure, in witch section I have to copy your lines of code. configuration.yaml … and then?
Hopefully Laundrify will implement this in the close future…
Do you have it “below”
sensor:
And changed ip to your laundrify-ip?
If it is still working as in the time I used it, a HA restart should create the template entitiy with values.
Also tried to implement my Trockner like shown by argantto. No success here, thre is no new entity with the name “Trockner”. Not sure what I’m doing wrong hence I don’t have any experience in yaml.
Gave this a second chance since the official integrations still does not provide any information regarding power consumption.
The code from @arganto worked for me. I can now see the power consumption of the dryer and washing machine.
The created sensor unfortunately does not provide a unique id. Any thoughts on how to get this new sensor working in the energy dashboard?
Set a device class and a total_increasing per customizing,
state_class: total_increasing
icon: mdi:chart-histogram
device_class: energy
just for my understanding (since I’m not familiar with customizing): where do I nedd to put that code?
Can i put it just anywhere in my configuration.yaml?
Edit: @arganto I added thelines to my configuration.yaml but I’m still getting the Infotmation, that there is no unique ID.
non-unique-id will stay, because rest sensor does not support it.
But the customing has to be inserted according to the documentation i have linked.
Her the details link within my generals one.
thx for the quick answer. Is there a way, the new sensors will bei available in the energy dashboard?
Confused. This is exactly the topic/need with the customization we are taking about.
Hm ok, I’ve added the code as seen in my screenshot but the sensor does not show up as a possible source to be added on the energy dashboard.
I added two links how and where to add it. Did you even click on it and read?
