Yes, I use HA and have read where people share about using a power monitor to know when the machines are done.
However this is the first time anyone brought up a vibration sensor. What a cool idea! I’ve never looked into such thing: are there devices you’d recommend or is this more of a build your own ?
Devices exist for vibration sensing. They are often used for intrusion detection to put on doors and windows but can just as well be used on a washing machine. I have not tried any of them so can’t talk about how well the quality is on them. Otherwise if you are comfortable using esp home it sound be really easy to build something with almost any cheap accelerometer.
