“Hur Hur that’s what a timer on your phone is for dude”

Yeah but this was a smart plug that was going dusty in a drawer!

Anyway it’s not the notification that makes my brain tickle in that special way, but the fact that my HA takes note of who was in the kitchen when the air fryer was started and only notifies the floor with that person on when it’s done.

Now I’ve worked that logic out with a silly Air Fryer notification I can reuse it in all my other automations.

    how do you know when to send the notification btw? Did you configure some automation or script that just says how long until notify?

    When power drops below a certain wattage I figure the cooking it complete. I’ve set it to 20 because it seems my air fryer drops to 24W every few minutes (when it’s reached temp I guess) and my rice cooker drops below 50W when it’s on the Keep Warm cycle.

    So above 50W it checks the room and below 20W it calls a notification from the people that were in the room.

    Also, as a minor annoyance, I could only flash the board from chrome when connected to a WINDOWS machine which I find pretty nasty 🤢, but I may be in the minority there.

    Yeah I was a Linux-boy for a decade before a friend gave me a gaming PC he made out of spare parts for me. His one stipulation was NO LINUX so I’m stuck with Windows. But I get ya.

      Oh neat. I don’t think my smart plugs show power consumption.
