Washing Machine - Ready
Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2014 11:23 am
In the past i tried to achieve the following solution but without success
I want to notify the wife of our washing machine status, she always forgets to empty it after it is finished. The washing machine is plugged into a Plugwise module and the power usage is 2 or 3 watt when idle.
I created an event:
but i think there is a better way to do this using a script. Does anyone uses a script ? And do you take in account the moment when the washing machine is waiting for "inweken" and the power usage drops to 3 watt it will also notify and therefore sends a false positive
I also would like to have a second script to remind her of the washing machine status

I created an event:
Code: Select all
Name: Washing Machine is Ready
Cannot Retrigger for: 3600 seconds
Trigger Type: Device Value Change
Select Days: All Days
Apply Conditions: Device "Wasmachine Plugwise" value does not equal 0
Device Value: "Wasmachine Plugwise" less than 20
Action: Send email to wife@domain.net

Code: Select all
If device status is 2 or 3 watt for at least 2hrs send notify, but this is not possible using events. And because of the toggling between 2 and 3 watts on idle i cannot use "device status changed" field
