Best vibration sensor for detecting clothes dryer on/off

[Jimxenus]

My washing machine didn’t vibrate enough so I found using a smartapp that monitors power usage worked very effectively. Below are a couple of links that talk about it.

Laundry Monitor

My app is mostly just an edited ripoff of the standard one but I’d agree the timing stuff is useless. If you’re having update problems, maybe take a look at my device type first. EDIT: I decided to edit it quite a bit to rip all of that out to avoid confusion and then combined in a couple things from yours that I liked.

Here’s the situation… for months now I’ve been using a smartapp cobbled together that combined features from contributions by @sudarkoff, @bmmiller, and @byoung (included below), and using it with an Aeon DSC06106 and the device handler by @jpansarasa. It all worked great until we got a new washer. The old washer had a minimum 4W running wattage and would turn itself off shortly after finishing a cycle, at which point the power draw dropped to zero. Perfect! Our new washer has a minimum running wattage of 1W, BUT toggles down to zero watts briefly every 13 minutes! It then goes back to 1W (even when off) and repeats the 13min cycle until we start a new load or turn off the Aeon switch (which happens when mode switches to Night, using ‘Lighting Automation’).
