Smarting up Comfee Miniplus Dishwasher with a vibration sensor?

[@Yama_1291]

I agree that the power meter is the more reliable solution. I also added a Boolean to be toggled on while the machine is above a minimum power draw so I can easily check the state in other automations.

[@notenoughtech]

I rewrote the the original one introducing a state machine, so you can also display Standby/Washing/Finished/PowerOff as text

[@Yama_1291]

@@notenoughtech That is pretty cool. Lucky for me, all I need to know is if the dishwasher is still running and when it is done.

[@notenoughtech]

@@Yama_1291 Now i need to figure out how to link both of them to the same power plug and recognise which one is which :)

[@Reddylion]

Nice dishwasher.

Power sensor seems the best option, with a threshold and timer. When power reaches xxx W then wait xxx minutes, then notify

[@notenoughtech]

If you have a power meter, you don't have to do timers, as timers won't be reliable for different programs, ie this dishwasher has programs that span from 29 min to 2:30h.

Any ideas on how to turn on my interior light. I liked that function, and it stopped?

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Mat. By the way, you have a leaky faucet. 😁 I wouldn't have noticed but you pointed it out.

[@notenoughtech]

Good call! It's more like weak palms.. but in all honesty that tap could use new seals

Small on the outside. Bigger on the inside... T.A.R.Dishwasher.

[@notenoughtech]

haha that's very funny :)

Hi wer do iput the dishwasher tablet?

[@notenoughtech]

Just throw it into the main compartment before you start it

[@smallpox2894]

Wouldn't a smart plug be better using smart things as it will alert you when it has finished through the app?

[@notenoughtech]

Technically, that's what I'm using but as typical wash cycles can have a low power moments, this could lead to false notifications. May work for some devices better than others. My system works with that as acknowledges the standby, wait timers and post cycle standby modes.

My dishwasher is a bit grouchy this morning.

[@notenoughtech]

Needs feeding? 😁

[@MrLinuxFreak]

do you have to put dish salt in it?

[@notenoughtech]

yes you do

[@reesericdotci]

3:46 you are correct :)

[@notenoughtech]

You have my assurance, that tap was corrected soon after :D

[@Temporalplace]

I dont understand how does wash detergent gets on the dishes from the hole in the door ?

[@notenoughtech]

The tablets in most designs end up at the bottom of the machine then jets from the bottom spray it up while jets from the top rinse it

[@Temporalplace]

@@notenoughtech Someone else told me that bottom of dishwasher fills with water then together with detrgent circulates in dishwasher, is it trrue ?

[@notenoughtech]

Yes that's how it works

[@hi-tech-guy-1823]

I would just hack & Modify the dish washer - add a NodeMCU ESP 8266 - Looking for Key POWER States (LED & Other components (Pumps Heater ) & sensors (Water Level & Water Temp) ) Power channels > optical isolators (Mosfet - Opto-isolator Breakouts on a DIY PCB) These intersect the Power Feeds to the LED an mimic them to the NodeMCU so it knowe whats getting power and in what State Little note the optical isolators can also be wired to the Buttons to mimic Button presses (ie the mcu can press buttons select Programme and Start & Stop the program) > Dumb dishwasher just got smarter and also got IOT Smart Functions + Web interface + Telnet SSH Protocol (mobile app) over Wifi - LoRA - Bluetooth -NodeMCU ESP 8266 add these functions
