Codeblue86 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 My idea is to use the power that feeds the led that illuminates when the laundry load is done, to trigger the Shelly UNI to send a notification to my Google Assistant that the laundry is done. In theory, do you believe that would work, and if so, how would I wire it up? Never worked with a Shelly before. Quote Translate Revert translation?

horkatz Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 It is possible, you could add an optocoupler to the existing LED, for example a PC817. The transmitting diode must be in series with the Done LED, for this you have to cut a conductor track on the board and solder the optocoupler there. A much easier way is the use of a PM Mini which measures the power of the machine. 1 Quote Translate Revert translation?

Codeblue86 Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 This is the video I was gonna use as a reference. But using the LED feed going to the white wire on the UNI.

Heinz Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I get the idea here its not a bad idea but then you would need to open up the washing machine and the chance of you doing something wrong might be higher. I am not sure of your electronics skills so its hard to say if it would be easy or not. As @horkatz mentioned it would be more simple to add a device that can measure power and then you can set a rule that when the device is under a X amount of power consumption then a alarm or alert can be sent to you via the phone or the google home assistant Quote Translate Revert translation?

I think I'll go the easier route to prevent causing any damage to my washer. 1 Quote Translate Revert translation?
