It is hard ti tell from that graph. Could you try and zoom up to the relevant period?
That’s cool. The relevant period is 17.25 to just after 17.30. Are you sure that the value is less than 5 for all of that period. It is hard to tell precisely on the graph.
Well, if I go by what Homeassistant says, the consumption ranges from 3W to 115W once the drying process is complete. And when it turns off, consumption jumps to around 1W. That’s why I’m checking for <115W and >3W consumption. And that should always be when the dryer has finished the program but has not yet switched off. And I check that for 5 minutes, because then I can be sure that the dryer is really finished and not just having a program break.
In my current and untested version, I now check <115 first. Maybe that’s enough… But the dryer just wasn’t on yet.
Also check the attribute: line is completely gone from the yaml.
Yeah I think attribute: '' is pointless and maybe unhelpful.
I tried the first attempts without the attribute. Unfortunately didn’t help either. But: I threw it out again and will let you know when the dryer was back on! Thank you for your help!
Short sign of life: Although Homeassistant receives the current power values of the Shelly Plug S and also records them in Grafana, the automation does not manage to react to them. I just don’t get any notifications. In the next step I try it now with MQTT.
