I tried to setup an automation using status sensor in LG microwave. There appear to be 3 states, Standby, Paused, and Cooking. The automation is looking for a change from standby or paused to cooking, and then turning off another switch. A change from cooking to standby should re-enable switch. The status changes in HA on the device, and if I run event manually it works. But the automation does not work either way.
The microwave and a toaster oven are on the same circuit and cannot be changed. Was trying to setup an automation to prevent the toaster from operating while microwave is in use so I do not have to go outside and reset the breaker in my PJs...
Update: in the sensor attributes, there is nothing there. I have to add custom attributes. Is this to be expected, or is something missing?
