I was curious if there is an automation device that can listen for a given cue like say the buzzer on a washer or dryer and use it to send notifications? I don’t even know what to call it to search for it on google…

    I’ve no experience with any of this stuff but what if you hooked up a sensor inside the washer and dryer that uses the buzzer’s electrical signal?

    That might be easier and way less CPU insensitive than constantly listening for and identifying the sound.

    You know, the rest of us are using a smart plug with energy metering to find out if the dryer is finished.

    Alexa can listen for certain sounds. iPhones can. HomePods can listen for fire alarms.

    Or you could grab a raspberry pi and TensorFlow and make your own.
