Pushnotification when dishwasher/washing machine is ready?

[rlschulz]

There was some talk about adding the length of time the washing machine ran. I was wondering if anyone figured out a good way to do that.

Hello,

the script does not work fully for my dryer machine. It stays in :

"Drying Washing machine is not using a lot of energy", with the right low Watt value but with the counter counting down to zero and then continiously - each minute - indicating "0 ".

The script does not go to the final IF - machine is done.

Anybody any clue what is going wrong?

On a different note;

Maybe I'm an complete idiot...(probably am) but; Which type of "uservariable" sensor do I add?
- Temperature?
- Text?
- Energy?

A uservariable is not a device but a ....uservariable, so that is where it needs to be created.

DOH!
Never used the user variables before.
Just saw them in the SETUP - More Options menu.

I'll just quietly leave now...

hello, i use this script, it work perfectly

Code: Select all

end

return commandArray
