*** UPDATE **
This has been reworked to include all 60 Voices available on Amazon Polly which only works on Announce not TTS.
Between 8:00am - 9:00pm (no Whisper) outside of those hours they Whisper
Note (Joanna & Matthew are both Newscaster and Conversational Style so they don’t seem to be able to Whisper) reason there on the bottom of the list and there is two random generators.
Simplied the flow with less nodes.
I thought i would share my setup on the washing maching notification. i’m not worried about power usage as no matter what the clothes need to be washed

that is pretty much straight from the website except for turning the relay on at boot
which i set so even with HA being down then there will always be power at the power point.
and the addition of 2 template switches that i used to set the state of the washing machine in the automation. Washing Machine On, Washing Machine Cycle. I could have used variables in node-red but I wanted HA to be aware of the state as well in case i want to do something elsewhere in HA.
so the logic is when the Power is above 0 and below 10watts then the machine has been switched on and the automation sets the template switch to on
when the Power is above 10 watts then the machine is both on and in a cycle the automation sets the cycle switch to on. once the Power Level gets back down to 0 watts being the machine has finished it checks to see if the cycle switch is on (cause you could just have turned on the the machine to open the door and then turned it off) if it was on then it turns it off, sends an announcement through alexa and switches the On switch to off.
