Run Tub Clean Notifier

Configuration
1

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if you can help me. I have a LG Washer that requires a tub clean every 30 wash cycles. I have an automation setup to notify me when the washer is done through home assistant. (When entity LG washer signals done cycle it triggers alexa to speak notification saying wash cycle is done.)

Now I am trying to set up a notification when the wash cycle hits 30 cycles to send a message saying to perform the tub clean. The current wash cycle is at 25 so I need to set up a counter to count to 30 and have a balance of 25. Then also set up an automation to count how many times my wash cycle done notification runs for the automation. I hope that made sense :slight_smile:

Could anyone help me with that automation? Thanks for all your help.

Create a counter helper that has an initial count of 25. Then you can create an automation that increases the count by 1 every time it finishes the cycle, and then finally trigger a counter reset and a notification when the counter reaches 30.

The helper menu you will find under Settings → Devices & services → Helpers.

The service that increases the count is called Counter: Increment.
