📣 SMART PLUG NOTIFICATIONS

This Home Assistant automation notifies you when a device connected to a smart plug (e.g., washing machine, coffee maker, etc.) finishes its cycle. It monitors real-time power consumption to detect when the device stops operating and sends a visual notification to your TV or Android device. Ideal for energy savings and daily convenience.

🔧 Built with YAML
📡 MQTT Compatible
💡 Energy Efficient
📺 Supports Android TV & Mi TV

🚀 Tuya Smart Plug Zigbee TS011F

	The Tuya Smart Plug Zigbee TS011F is an affordable smart plug with decent real-time monitoring responsiveness. In simple terms, data updates are relatively fast (around 10 seconds). While not perfect, it's sufficient—you'll receive the notification about 10 seconds after your laundry finishes.

METHOD 1: Notification Automation

🔌 Automation Trigger

When the washing machine is idle and turned off, the Tuya Smart Plug Zigbee TS011F shows a value of "0 watt." Any reading above "1 watt" means the washing machine is on. This condition triggers the automation:

alias: HASS PLUG NOTIFICATION
description: ""
triggers:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.steckdose_002_wohnwand_power
    above: 1
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 10

⏲️ Condition

⚠️ This automation does not use a separate conditions block, as the condition is embedded in the actions.

📲 Action

Once power consumption drops below 1W for 5 seconds, a notification is sent:

actions:
  - wait_for_trigger:
      - platform: numeric_state
        entity_id:
          - sensor.steckdose_002_wohnwand_power
        below: 1
        for:
          hours: 0
          minutes: 0
          seconds: 5
        continue_on_timeout: false
  - service: notify.mitv
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: Washing machine finished !!!
      title: "Home Assistant Service:"
      data:
        position: top-left
        transparency: 50%
        color: black
        interrupt: 0
        fontsize: medium
        duration: 10

The notification is sent to Android TV using Notifications for Android TV.

📳 Automation Outcome

The automation monitors the plug's power usage. If it exceeds 1W, the washing machine is on. When it drops below 1W for 5 seconds, the cycle is complete, and a notification is sent.

METHOD 2: Using a Binary Sensor

Creating a binary sensor simplifies the process and allows visualization of the device's state on your room map.

Creating a Binary Sensor

1. Create a new template by clicking the button:
   

2. Select binary_sensor:
   

3. In the "State template*" field, enter:

{% if states('sensor.steckdose_002_wohnwand_power') | float == 0 %} 
  off
{% else %}
  on
{% endif %}

float == 0 sets a default value because without it, the sensor would return null, which is problematic for INT (integer) sensors. This is a simple example where a power reading above 0 means the device is on; otherwise, it's off.

Sensor Configuration

Assign the sensor to the correct device, and you're done:
