I had the better laundry monitor app installed but it didn’t support voice announcements and was throwing and error so I removed the app. I’d like to duplicate that in rule machine. When the dryer power rises above 50 dryer is running, when it drops back below 30 the dryer has stopped and send an a…

It takes two rules to do it, actually, two triggers: Dryer On Trigger: Event: power > 50 Action: Set Private Boolean of Dryer-Off Trigger to true Dryer Off Trigger: Event: power < 30 Actions: Set Private Boolean of "This Rule" to false, send announcement Restriction: Disable with Private B…

[image] Keo: I am not sure if this is related or not, but I haven't had any problems since I removed these rules. I would suggest giving this a try. RM rules and triggers (and other apps) are waking up constantly to events, and this should not cause the hub to have any problems.
