Hi Guys,
I bought a Sonoff Pow2 for my washer machine, which uses HA to inform me when my clothes are done washing and announces it over Alexa. Now I want to set up the dryer to do the same thing.
My dryer is electric and uses a 3 prong plug thats 240v 30amp (2 hot, 1 neutral). My question is: can i take 1 hot wire and run it through the Sonoff Pow2 to monitor when the dryer stops running or will this cause an issue.
I understand i would need to monitor both hot wires if i wanted an accurate reading on how much power consumption, but i just want to know is the dryer on or off.
I know this is more of an electrical question but im hoping someone in the forums has done this already and can give me an answer.
Thanks everyone!
