1) Give a description of the problem
So, I have this problem. It’s called laziness. When related to doing laundry, this almost always results in wet clothes left sitting in the washer bin for too long, resulting in not only everything I washed to smell like crap, but the washing machine as well causing itself, forcing me to spend hours and hours attempting to clean the sucker to it’s previous usable condition. I’m not married. Can you tell?
My issue is in getting my piston to detect when a washing cycle has completed based on specific acceleration activity from a ST multi-purpose sensor. I know, I know, “but there’s so many other ways to do this!” I have a stackable washer/dryer unit which runs off a single power source so I don’t have a lot of options. I actually receive alerts for the dryer cycles based a Visonic O/C sensor glued to my dryer timer knob with carefully placed magnets which trigger a closed contact, and thus the completion of a drying cycle #getcreative.
2) What is the expected behaviour?
For the open closed sensor (placed on the lid hatch of the washer) to detect when a cycle has completed, but the lid/hatch hasn’t been opened (and stayed open for >30 seconds) indicating the items in the washer haven’t been unloaded.
The sensor would need to detect acceleration has started, but also that it has continued for a significant amount of time, regardless of the periodic “inactivity” events, reported due to the polling frequency of these sensors. The sensor almost constantly registers “active” during a washing cycle, even during filling and brief soak stages. I’ve been quite impressed by this, yet the period “inactive” reports slip in from time to time which keep tripping me up.
3) What is happening/not happening?
It’s purely an in issue of inexperience, and poor understanding of exactly how WC triggers/conditions operate and the ideal way to set them up.
**4) Post a Green Snapshot of the piston!
Please excuse the simplicity of this piston. I’ve attempted this objective across so many other pistons, this happened to be the most current.
5) Attach logs after turning logging level to Full
I’m not sure the logs would help much in this situation. However, I would like to include a few screenshots from the activity history within the ST Classic app (soon to RIP 
) to provide a bit more insight.
First, just wanted to show off my neat-o device handler I made for this sensor 
Running v Done = Acceleration detection
Closed v Open = Lid of the washer opened or closed. (Remains closed throughout cycle)
MOST IMPORTANT! Below are the events of an entire washing cycle
area. So I thought you were asking for help with your piston.
