What is the best trigger for the end of a washing cycle?

[trogenmoser]

Hi there,

First and foremost, fantastic integration!

I hooked up my washing maschine and so far all fine.

Now I try to include an automation which would send a message to my wifes (an my) mobilephone once the washing maschine (Adora SLQ WP) finished a program.

I am struggling to find the right trigger (sensor state etc.). to do so and look forward to a hint or a solution.

Best regards,
Thomas

This is what I use in my automation: it it plays a message on my Sonos loudspeaker. At first I used the sensor.adorawash_v4000_programm_ende but this was often a few minutes before the actual termination of the program.

Trigger:

After the washing cycle, the AdoraWash gets into the "Auflockern" state. This is what I use as the trigger.

trigger:
    - platform: template
      id: auflockern
      alias: "Während Auflockern"
      value_template: >
        {{ 'Auflockern' in states('sensor.adorawash_v4000_zustand') }}

Message:

Sorry, values and message are in German here.
The message is composed from the sensor "last UI anouncment" which contains the program name.
The resulting message is something like "Wäsche mit Program 60°C beendet".

message: >
      {% set txt = states('sensor.adorawash_v4000_letzte_benachrichtigung') %}
      {% if txt not in ['unknown','unavailable','none',''] %}
        {% set program_name = txt.split('–', 1)[0] | trim %}
        {% set program_map = {
          'Programm 0': 'Eco Programm beendet',
        } %}
        {% set display_name = program_map.get(program_name, program_name) %}
        Wäsche mit {{ display_name }}.
      {% else %}
        Die Wäsche ist fertig.
      {% endif %}
