hi There
I downloaded and installed the LG ThinQ integration : LG ThinQ - Home Assistant
My LG washing machine is available on the app and received the api.
It is visible in the HA dashboard and updates as the washer changes, but nothing happens in a simple program, what i want to achieve is this:
Machine finishes cycle which triggers my ELK M1 to announce
If I run action in the automation it announces in my Elk
Took a screenshot of logs
Check the trace timeline for the automation - it'll tell you exactly what happened. Also, check the Activity page for your machine. It'll also show you all the changes it went through without needing to enable debug logs.
I don't use the ThinQ integration or have an LG machine, but I had a look at the integration docs.
There should be an event being fired called washing_is_complete which would be more suitable for your usecase.
My machine takes something like 15-30 minutes to power off after it's done washing, so I'd never base an automation on power off if I want to be notified immediately when the washing is done.
I don't have an LG washing machine, but I do have an LG refrigerator. As @ShadowFist interpreted, the device has an event entity. If you go into the details of the event entity, you will see the different types of events that are reported and trigger the entity's state. You can create template sensors for these attributes if you require some form of specivity, as well, to use in automations.
As I said earlier, check the Activity page for your washing machine. Do you see an event fired when laundry is done?
You have a "Current Status" sensor. That's the entity you should use in your automation. Choose "entity state" as your trigger, select the "Current Status" sensor, and then select "Finished" as the state.
