CoRE - Get peer assistance here with setting up Pistons

[tedrpi]

Hoping to get some help with a Laundry Monitor routine I found here:

Laundry Monitor

Yes. I do. This was one of my first pistons set up, so there might be a more efficient way, but i have done about 10 loads of laundry since setting it up and it works for me. Note, i wanted to only notify after a cycle, not after I opened the dryer door or something else that might cause a false alarm. This is the reason for the booleans. Otherwise you could just make a piston that says if Dryer drops below 5 watts; send push message and Washer drops below 3 watts; send push message [image]

I’m using a shock sensor instead of a power meter for my dryer. What’s the best way to ensure the shock sensor is open (dryer on) for 1+ min before setting the boolean = true. I’m trying to reduce the false positives of the dryer door opening or the dryer being bumped. I tried using the statement “Laundry Dryer (contact sensor) stays open for 2 minutes”, it doesn’t seem to be working as expected. Thanks
