Description:
I use blockly for a couple of timers with which I validate whether my dryer, washing machine and dishwasher have finished.
This works fine for both the washing machine and the dishwasher. I check whether the smartplugs use less than ~5W or something of power. If so for a few minutes and the device was active (>100W of usage) before that time, I let them send me a message. This works perfectly/flawlessly for both the washing machine as well as the dryer. Both are done after the power is lower than like 5W for around 5 minutes.
Here comes the weird part: I use the exact same events/setup for the dishwasher, but it doesn't work and I cannot figure out why.
I have a smartplug and check whether power usage is below 5W for 35 minutes (2100 seconds) before sending a signal (after it's done it has a literal "cooldown" before of 35 minutes for the dishes to cool down, after which it starts beeping). I can see this is in the powerusage of the smartplug and I think it should be fine. The weird thing is, after those 35 minutes it does not send a message. Here's where it gets really weird: If I change the timeout to send a message to like ~30 seconds it does send the signal. And additionally: If I completely turn of the dishwasher (so I push the power button of the dishwasher itself, like I normally would once it starts beeping its done) then ~35 minutes later the message does seem to go out!
Initially I thought it was probably due to the fact that it was still drawing more power sometimes, but if it does work if I change the timer/wait to those 30 seconds it does work, soI cannot, for the life of me, correlate the two! Can this be a bug or am I missing something?
The three blockly events are shown here:

Again, this exact same setup works perfectly for washer and dryer where the only thing different is the timeout being under 350 for both of them.
Help is very much appreciated!
