๐Ÿงบ Laundry Done Notification

๐Ÿ“Œ Overviewโ€‹

This automation notifies you when your laundry is done using an Aqara Vibration Sensor. It ensures:
โœ… The washing machine has been running for at least 10 minutes before monitoring.
โœ… The machine has stopped vibrating for 5 minutes before triggering the notification.

๐Ÿ” Explanationโ€‹

โณ How It Works

1๏ธโƒฃ The automation triggers only if the vibration strength stays above 10 for 10 minutes (machine is running). 2๏ธโƒฃ It waits for the vibration strength to stay below 10 for 5 minutes (machine is stopped). 3๏ธโƒฃ Once the waiting condition is met, it sends a notification to your mobile device.
