1·3 years agoAny ESP8266-based or Zigbee smartplug will do. If you get an ESP8266-based one, get one that comes with Tasmota preinstalled, then you don’t need to open it up and flash it. Don’t get an ESP32-based one.
If you run Tasmota or use a Zigbee plug, you need to do the detection in Home Assistant or Node-RED or whatever you’re using. Personally I do it directly in ESPHome:
binary_sensor: - platform: analog_threshold id: machine_running name: "Washer running" icon: mdi:washing-machine sensor_id: power threshold: 5 filters: - delayed_on_off: 60s

2·3 years agoYou know, the rest of us are using a smart plug with energy metering to find out if the dryer is finished.
Are there though?
