I’d like to create an auto-notification that sends me a notification on my phone when the washing machine or dishwasher has finished working. I’ve installed some smart plugs. Do you have any ready-made scripts? Is there a section in the forum that collects all these scripts? Thanks.
You can basically do that through an automation and/or a template sensor. It will depend on how exactly the power consumption of your washing machine looks through the entire cycle. For me this is a quite complex automation but for others it might be fairly simple. Start by analyzing the power consumption during a wash cycle and go from there.
I am using this blueprint to do exactly that via power plugs:
Thanks, can you help me understand how to use them?
Read the readme and follow the instructions posted in the link I provided.
Experiment a little to get started.
When you have specific questions, ask them over in the official discussion on the Home Assistant Forum.
