Best to use "scenes" or script to control the following function - threshold energy consumption - text message

[Carl J]

I'm new a this, and very grateful if someone would advice me. I have a Shelly Plus Plug S. With which I plan to monitor the energy consumption of a Cpap machine (A cpap is a machine that you sleep with at night and assist your breathing, so that you dont snore, and stops breathing). My problem is that i turn off my machine in my sleep (!), which results in very poor sleep. The "alarm" function I need is not built in to the machine, so I intend to use the Shelly plug to monitor the energy consumption of the machine; If the energy consumption drops under 5 W, means that it is in standby mode, and that I have shut it off. I would like this threshold to trigger an alarm in the form of a text message, which would wake me up - I would then realize that I need to turn the machine on again. What do you think, is it feasible with Shelly? / Carl

What if you would disable the on/off switch of the machine? Perhaps a little box could be fixed over the switch…

When you wake up you need to be able to switch it off right away. It would be too impractical to have an obstacle like that. A reminder in the form of a text message or some other form av alarm would be the best thing.
