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)...

  • Get an old Android phone (I have like 5, I don't know how many would charge, but probably 2 would). Duct tape it to your washer.
  • Write an app that queries the accelerometer and detects jiggling.
  • Wait 2 minutes. If there's more jiggling, start the 2 minutes over.
  • When there's no jiggling for 2 minutes, send a push notification.
