Home assistant is lights, switches, sensors, blinds, fans, heat/cooling, and more. I have an automation that tells me 5 minutes after the wash is done so I can move laundry into the dryer, and another one that tells me if anyone left the back door open, telling me to close it. (My dog can open it from outside).

How’d you do the laundry one?

  I’ve got a tp-link smart plug that monitors power. The automation triggers when it draws less than a watt (a few minutes after it completes the cycle, it turns off). I have the duration set to 5m, so a slower soak cycle shouldn’t trigger it (not tested yet).

    Hmm. Wonder if I can do this with my Eve plug.
    
    What are you using for the automation?
    
    Thanks :-)

    Home assistant, it’s a standard trigger in the automations… Trigger type: power.
    
    Copying the yml is a pain on the phone

  Besides using the power consumption there are also various ways to integrate smart devices - e.g. Bosch Siemens HomeConnect directly and let “the house” react to it. For the later a “no cloud” local integration has become available as well.
