There are a couple of scenarios that I am thinking about where I would like to detect sound or curent changes:
Washer/Dryer stops - play alert on sonos or text me
TV gets turned on - dim lights
etc
Any devices out there to do this?

Thanks for info. I am not a dev so I was hoping there was something more plug-and-lay out there. In addition to laundry I would use it for my 3D printer and RC battery charging setup. Lots of uses for me at least.
There are other ways to approach the TV scenario:
Hi all,
Currently have Insteon switches in my man cave. They are starting to fail so am going to z-wave switches.
My current HT setup uses a harmony 880 remote which will turn on everything, plus the lighting scenes using a IR to powerline converter.
I would like to keep the same kind of activities, but I can’t seem to find a IR to z-wave converter to keep that same setup.
So my question is there some sort of “smartthings power strip” that get trigger smartthing lighting?
Ex. If my tv and blue ray player is plugged into one of the outlets on the power strip, once the TV is turned on, my “TV Lighting” scene gets triggered by the power strip? Same if I switch to watching a movie, once my Blue Ray player is powered on the power strip triggers my “Movie Light” scene.
Is there anything …
As for the plugs, I would think the Aeotec smart energy meter would do it, but might require custom code.
