Would be great to have example cards that can show the statuses of an appliance -- I think that would round out the package nicely for folks who are setting up dashboards

Hi !
Great job here, thanks for the time spent to create and (well) document your blueprint !

In the wiki, I would suggest to make things a bit cleaner (ie. not overloading the configuration.yaml file) suggesting to create packages.

In the configuration.yaml file :

## Packages
homeassistant:
  packages: !include_dir_named packages/

And then add the "devices" in the folder /packages
For example washing_machine.yaml based on the template you provided :

timer:
  washing_machine_delayed_job_completion_timer:
    name: Washing Machine - Delayed Job Completion Timer
    duration: "00:15:00" # <- Note that the time here. Leave as it is (15 min)
    restore: true
    icon: mdi:washing-machine

  # ...

input_boolean:
  washing_machine_job_cycle:
    name: Washing Machine - Job Cycle
    icon: mdi:washing-machine

  washing_machine_automation_self_trigger:
    name: Washing Machine - Automation Self-trigger
    icon: mdi:washing-machine

  # ...

input_select:
  washing_machine_state_machine:
    name: Washing Machine - State Machine
    options:
      - unplugged
      - idle
      - paused
      - detached_overload
      - job_ongoing
      - job_completed
    icon: mdi:washing-machine

This will help keep the HA configuration simpler and more maintainable in my humble opinion

I would like to change the state names e.g. 'job_ongoing' to 'Running' or 'Composting' (as I am using this for my Lomi Composter!). It would be nice if this was supported or addl. details added to the readme to illustrate as such.

Not sure when this started or why, but I am seeing these errors and the associated automated have stopped working:

2024-05-10 15:31:49.089 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.template] Template variable error: 'appliance_socket' is undefined when rendering '{{ states(appliance_socket) == 'off' }}' 2024-05-10 15:31:49.090 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.script] Error in 'choose[0]' evaluation: In 'template' condition: UndefinedError: 'appliance_socket' is undefined

I was able to find and fix the issue in the source yaml. I'll create a PR with the changes and link it here so others who run into the same issue might be able to fix it.

Is it possible to add a "delayed job start time"? I mean consider appliance on going after x time.
I'm asking for this beacause of my dryer and I guess I'm not alone: after it finishes main cycle, it starts a long series of cycles "up and down". 5 seconds running, 2 minutes wait, 5 second running, 2 minutes wait and so on. At the moment, I cannot use the blueprint for dryer because of continuous "idle-ongoing" recursion.

Thanks :)

My device power varies from 800 to 1600, but it is my only 3 phase device(water pump) so I can easy identify if measured on L1 L2 and L3 separate. Is there such option and if not can you make it?

Hello

I got the error "invalid slug Trockner (try trockner) for dictionary value @ data['packages']"
when i copy this to the configuration.yaml

invalid slug Trockner (try trockner) for dictionary value @ data['packages']

homeassistant:

Packages support enabled - Includes every .yaml file that is inside the packages/ directory

packages: !include_dir_named packages/

Warning! Please pay attention to the indentation!

Can you help me please

Please add option to have a delay for the Job started trigger.
Both my washing machine and dryer have random trigger when the electric consumption spike for a minute

much appreciated, and thanks for the awesome blueprint :)

It would be nice to have the current duration of an ongoing job, and when it's complete to have the total duration of the last completed job.

When an appliance's socket is turned on, if the machine never starts a job, the socket stays on for an indefinite time.
We need the option to turn off the socket if in idle mode—some power-saving feature.

Just finished installing my dishwasher and using this template it has become a smart one, super nice! I've got notifications setup on my phone and my gf's phone, everything working as it should.

Small question, (and I'm not an expert) but is it possible to have the 'State Machine' display normal instead of being a input selector?

So not like the bottom one but like the top one.
I'm hoping you'll understand what I mean. Thanks.

I'm playing with v3 of this awesome template. I do have a feature request: I'd like to specify a binary_sensor (door sensor) to impact the state machine:

• if the door opens while state is job_complete, then change the state to idle (ie, clean clothes/dishes were dealt with). I would rather use this than a timer, so I can keep notifying periodically until the door is opened.
• if the door opens while state is job_running then change state to paused. If state is paused and door closes, set state back to job_running. I realize this is a different use for the paused state (but overloads don't apply to my situation), so I understand if this goes against the design and can't be implemented.
• It would also be nice to have a built in method to do recurring actions every n minutes while state is job_complete.

Thanks for considering!

I have an issue which is randomly i get a small electric spike which causes this automation to think the dishwasher has started a cleaning cycle. Then it completes, which triggers a flashing button on my dashboard to start going off because i have it as a way to show us the dishwasher is complete. It also removes a dishwasher pod out of inventory on the finish cycle so now i have to add it back in. Is there a way to create a start timer to make sure the initial spike lasts X time before it assumes the state of the dishwasher is now "Running" vs "idle"

Hi
I think I probably have a similar issue to others. My appliance (dishwasher) has a delay start function. When the door is closed it runs a quick rinse cycle before holding on the same power consumption for a pre set time between 1 and 24 hrs.
The prewash time is always the same as seen in screenshots. Ideally I need a 'pre wash' time that would set the machine to a 'paused' state rather than a completed state when it sees a short pre wash cycle. Maybe set a minimum job time- and when it sees a run for this it puts to pause not completed?
The only way I can do this is to detect job duration and instead set the machine into an overload state. This feels hacky. Is it possible to adapt how this works to still use a paused state but without overload?

Hey! Love the blueprint. I use it to update a picture card on my front dashboard with adorable pictures - "laundry is idle", "laundry in progress" and "laundry is complete".

The problem for me is, it hits that "complete" and then is immediately "idle". I would love to have an input of x minutes to hold state "complete" so the card notifies everyone looking at the dashboard that there is stuff in the washing machine that needs moved on.

I have unwanted and useless triggers with no power from appliances:

I analized some of this events and figured that the automation is triggered by "linkquality" attribute:

appliance_socket: switch.smart_plug_washing_machine
appliance_suspended_sensor: []
delayed_job_completion_duration: 0
delayed_job_completion_timer: timer.washing_machine_delayed_job_completion_timer

Is it possible to add a selection for the power attribute? For now I solved manually adding this:

trigger:
- platform: state
  entity_id: !input appliance_power_sensor
  id: power_event
  attribute: power
- platform: state
  entity_id: !input appliance_socket
  id: socket_state_change_event
  attribute: power
