Washing Machine notification if door does not open


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I set this up and ran it for the first time but did not get the notification when it was complete

2) What is the expected behavior?
If the washing machine is done for 10 minutes and I fail to open the washing machine door, it should send a TTS notification and also a push notification.

3) What is happening/not happening?
10 minutes after completed, no notification

**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston!

**5) Attach any logs

I don’t know why I have been seeing this a lot lately, but normally all 3 conditions here should be aligned above/below each other. Your first 2 are indented too much. All 3 should be stacked directly above the “Contact Sensor 9’s” line.

You should be able to drag them into the right spot if you have the option turned on up top.

I think you’ll also want only one condition from the first group. The “drops” condition is a trigger that is only true when the previous energy event was above and the current energy event is below your threshold. The piston will first wake up for that event seeing that yes the energy dropped below 3kWh, but no the energy has not stayed less than 3kWh for 600 seconds. Next it will wake up when the washing machine has been off for 10 minutes, however when that event occurs the “drops below 3kWh” is no longer true.

You should be in better shape if you remove the “drops” condition so that the piston is triggered when the washing machine has been off for 10 minutes.

Once again, two heads are better than one.
