Any ideas on how to automatically open a finished dishwasher? (lemmy.ml)

I have a dishwasher that does not open automatically when finished. I can detect when it is finished through a power adapter, but need to open it somehow. Any tips? Is fingerbot strong enough?

maybe just a window/door sensor that uses a magnet to detect closure?

Would work but is a challange with an intergrated dishwasher. And I've been trying to avoid batteries (unsuccessful but trying)
