I have mine connected to a wifi power meter and the data is logged in InfluxDB and monitored by Grafana, so I get an email and XMPP notification when the dishes are done.
Then the same for the washing machine, and there it is super useful since the machine isn't inside the apartment, but in the washroom, and it is a real problem if I forget the clothes.
But doing this with the dishwasher is not useful.
- bonoboTP 6y agoThe last thing I need in my life is yet another source for notifications. But I guess we are all different.
- qwertox 6y agoHonestly it's a blessing if your washing machine let's you know that the clothes are ready to be taken out. Since I started with this around 4 years ago, I've never forgotten the clothes in it. Also, it's 1-3 notifications a week. Then again, I also get notifications multiple times a day when the backups of the servers finished successfully or failed, so it appears that I'm ok with receiving notifications (from machines). Or when devices have connected to the wifi.
- exhilaration 6y agoWait, you plugged a wifi power meter in your apartment building's communal washroom? Don't you get pinged everytime anyone finishes a load of laundry? Also: brilliant hack!
- qwertox 6y agoEach apartment has his own washing machine in the communal washroom, so I have the cable plugged into the power meter and every time I need to wash I plug the power meter into the wall socket. I'm considering replacing it with an ESP32 and wrap a wire around the cable which should then detect if current is flowing, but I lack a bit of motivation since the current setup is working.
