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.

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.
