What am I doing wrong here?
My automation detects when my dryer starts and stops, using a Shelly EM, and notifies me when it stops. It should continue to notify me every 5 minutes until I go open the laundry room door (and presumably get the clothes out). However, it continues to notify me even after I open the laundry room door. This gets rather annoying.
I am using a helper to track the current status of the dryer, with the values of “Running” while the dryer is going, “Done” when the dyer has stopped, and “Off” once I’ve opened the door. The state of the helper changes to “Running” and “Done” but never changes to “Off”.
As a note, I plan to replicate this automation for my washer too, so getting it working for the dryer first would be great.
