The washing machine tells me how long it's going to take when I start it, but it's often wrong and takes longer. I've been descending into the basement countless times, usually from the first floor, only to notice it's not done yet.
This is just a small thing but I want to share anyways: I just plugged it in a Zigbee plug with power meter and put an entity icon into the default dashboard. It's conditional and only shows up when power!=0.0.
No more pointless stairs!
I have moved it next to the basement temperature but it's not running right now and I don't want to forge the screenshot so it's showing before the change.
It's probably consumption power changes below X threshold for some amount of time
