Home Assistant is like lego it all sticks together. My solution is pretty much the same except instead of telegram I have a remotely controllable accent LED in my office and it uses similar logic to detect washing machine power use. More than four watts means red accent LED, less than 4 watts means green LED. LED off means the presence detection thinks I am not in the room (also it flashes red when my exterior doors or garage door open, essentially logical "AND" with the washer wattage, but trying not to confuse issues) I am not familiar with the Gosund SP111 in the article I use a Zooz-ZEN15 it can easily handle a 15 amp circuits worth of power although its measurement is "squirrely" below two or three watts drawn. Thankfully my clothes washer is economically inefficient enough to draw at least 6 watts to light all those indicator LEDs? My bulb is an older Aeotec zwave bulb. It can be quite bright with several watts but it can also be stable when dim. Also presence detection is a thing so its off completely when I'm not in the office. You're probably asking yourself how many times I've accidentally shut off the ZEN15 power (its a switch AND a monitor) and my solution is Home Assistant makes it very easy to command a "power on" every hour, so even if I or wife or kids accidentally shut it off by hitting the little button it'll get turned on again very soon anyway. Technically I am being lazy by commanding a power on every hour, it would make more sense to set up a trigger that sends a "on" immediately anytime it sees an "off" state, but infinite spare time, etc... I could check the logs but this may have never been shut off so putting much effort into fixing may be misplaced. The next level up is ignoring the instantaneous power output and monitoring the total energy counter. That works really well for sump pumps and fridges where the instant use doesn't really matter but something's off if the total energy counter doesn't increment over a time interval.
