I created a set of buttons that reveal the status of my 2 washing machines (wasmachines in dutch), so that I don’t forget to take out the wet laundry too late.
The machines themself are not smart, therefor I use two smart switches from Tuya:
that reveal the power consumption.
I make use of the folowing helpers:
input_boolean.wasmachine_1_aan (Schakelaar)
This one I created in the UI under ‘helpers’ in the 'Devices & Servcis" menu
sensor.wasmachine_1_state (Sensor)
I added this sensor in my sensors.yaml:
- platform: template
sensors:
wasmachine_1_state:
value_template: >-
{% set power = states('sensor.zolder_wasmachine_stekker_1_power') | int %}
{% set power_history = states('input_number.wasmachine_1_power_history') | int %}
{% if power < 2 %}
is klaar!
{% elif 3 <= power < 299 %}
wast
{% elif 300 <= power < 1000 %}
centrifugeert
{% elif 1000 <= power < 3500 %}
wast en verwarmt
{% else %}
unknown
{% endif %}
Depending on the wattage it returns a state string, in my case in Dutch.
I created an automation that tests wether the power is above 2 watt for more than 5 seconds, and then triggers a input_boolean to ‘on’, so that my conditional card is revealed for this machine in my Dashboard that I share further on:
Washing Machine 1 on Detection automation:
alias: "Washing Machine 1 On Detection "
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id:
- sensor.zolder_wasmachine_stekker_1_power
above: 2
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 5
action:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: input_boolean.wasmachine_1_aan
You need to create more equivalent helpers for additional washing machines.
I have 2, so I have these helpers and automation for wasmachine_2 as well.
And this is my code for the cards that I use for this buttons:

I hope I help any out there with my solution and code to inspire and solve their problem. Feel free to comment, suggest changes or ask questions!
