I’m planning a home automation project and it looks like I will be using HA. One of the things I want to do is a notification when the washer or dryer is finished.
I figure I can install a smart meter outlet and when current is drawn, set a flag that says “dryer is on” and then when the current stops, the flag will be set to “dryer is off” and I can send a notification. Is this something HA can do? I was thinking of a Enerwave ZW20RM .
Future plans would be to integrate it into the Echo so I can say something like “Alexa, tell Home to tell Bob the dryer is off” and have different phone numbers for different people to be notified.
