Hi all,
Can anyone help out a noob please
I’m trying to send a telegram notification when the Power on my Aetoec switch plug drops to ‘0’. So far I have this working but I would like it to only send the notification when it drops from a value greater than 500.0 to 0.0?
- alias: Washings done
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.aeotec_zw096_smart_switch_6_power_9_8
state: '0.0'
action:
- service: notify.notify
data_template:
message: Washings Done

Take a look at this - I used Aeotec Smart Switches for the very same thing; one for washer and one for the dryer.
I just realized that my “Done” notification doesn’t make much sense without the startup automation, so here’s the whole thing with the Dryer included as well.
I have two Aeotec Smart Plugs and I used the energy states to monitor things. I had to consider that the washer has pauses in it’s sequence that drop the power so I had account for that. I also had to account for the dryer load increasing when you open the door (the light) too.
I ended up creating two template sensors to count for thos…
