At this point I think the solution is to have a nearby Raspberry Pi or similar detect the chime with a microphone, then send an old-fashioned email. LOL edit:

edit: Actually, can anyone suggest software to do this with? I already have a Pi-alike in the same room.
- culturestate 6y agoI've semi-seriously considered getting one of those flashing process lights that you see on industrial equipment and hooking it up to a pi that monitors the power draw through the outlet and lights up whenever it goes high->low.
- novok 6y agoOh you can get a zwave or similar power switch that can monitor power usage that does that for you, no custom rpi required. Then you make an automation that sends a push once power is down after an initial increase minimum. There are also high power zwave switches that should work with driers too. Or shit can respect our privacy
- isoprophlex 6y agoDon't know about the audio detection software... you might also think about sampling your home power usage and detecting the characteristic usage pattern of your washing machine..?
