Help with a rule

[TomG]

Have this rule to let me know when the clothes are clean. The washing machine is connected to a Zooz Zen15. Thanks to @marcusvrsilva for the idea.

This works but when the clothes are soaking, there is no power consumption so the message is sent. The message should be sent only after the clothes are clean.

Was looking in the rule for wait 10 minutes for no power or something like that but this old man brain couldn’t figure it out. Please don’t use words like boolean. My brain is taxed enough keeping the WAF manageable.

Did you try one of the various community laundry done/monitoring apps? They account for soak cycles.

I also found this worked well for my dishwasher. I also made it so it can use a Echo Speaks Device code to do a "Play Announcement All" ensure you don't max out your requests if you want all your Echos to tell you when its done. her…

Here is mine with same device. Should work fine if you adjust power and times for your washer.

Thanks to @terminal3 and @neonturbo and @kahn-hubitat for all the helpful replies.
You keep forgetting I am like a kid in 8th grade science class and most everyone in my class has a degree in electrical engineering. I need it dumbed down a lot. I was not aware of any community apps. Onward!

Oh, and if you want to know all the enabling criteria required to set a catalyst monitor fault code, I’m your man. Or how a Ford can fail the catalytic converter before the oxygen sensor monitor completes. Or how come an EVAP monitor will not run to completion when the ambient temperature is below 40€F
