I have an old washer and dryer that work. I don't want to replace them with smart devices. I DO want to get a text whenever they're done with their cycles. Any ideas how to make that happen?
I have the skill set, but not the free time or interest. I LITERALLY might do this though (I'm this kind of weird hacker)...
ADHD person here.
I installed Home Assistant on a small RPi and used a Wifi plug.
I then I used one of the many blueprints that basically says "If power is over 5amp, and then stop for 5 minutes and under 5amps, then send a message to your phone".
Not exactly easy, but its really fun.
I do have HA, but never thought of that. Thanks! I'm going to see if anyone sells that sort of sensor prebuilt.

There are now blueprints that make it extra easy but this guy sets it up manually and even installed it on your smart speakers.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I'm not usually the one setting it unfortunately.
