“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.

    Thanks for the re-upvote. My guess is it was someone who sets timers on their phone. 😂

    Dammit, now you’ve got my head swimming with ways to improve the washing machine stuff. I bet a vibration sensor on top could be combined with the smart plug power monitoring to detect when it’s being emptied.

    How did you do the Google-turning-on-the-smartplug thing? I feel like I’m missing a lot of tricks by not having HA integrated into those. I just use them for audible notifications currently.
