Seeking functionality info on vibration sensor use on a stacked washer/dryer unit

Hardware
1

I’m trying to find the lowest effort solution to get notifications when my washing and drying cycles are finished. I have seen many people use a vibration sensor, but I haven’t seen anyone use it on a stacked washer/dryer, they’re always both on the ground next to each other. My plan is to use a smartplug to monitor the washer and a vibration sensor for the dryer since its a 220v/60a circuit. My concern is the washer will register false positives for the dryer.

Has anyone tried a vibration sensor for a stacked washer/dryer combo unit? How did it go?

If anyone in a similar situation is looking for a solution, I put a shelly EM in my circuit breaker and monitor the consumption of each machine as the foundation to this solution. It was the simplest and cheapest solution that also works.

I use a zigbee smart plug with power monitoring in my setup to detect the current changes on my 2 in one washer dryer combo at the moment and I have a door sensor on it to turn it on (since it auto sets the last mode set all I have to do is just press start for a new cycle) when I open it then when the current drops for x time and the door is still closed it reminds me to take out the washing.

Very nice QOL setups.

Here is the automation I have setup for it (adjust the current levels for your specific model after a few cycles so you know the numbers to set)
