I've already added a LED strip below the kitchen to give some ambient and status lighting (ESP32 with WS2812B). And I also already had a power plug that measured the power (Athom smart plug V2). I've now also a simple door sensor (aqara zigbee). I drilled a hole in the neighbourinf cabinet and embedded some magnet, and placed the door sensor on the dishwasher door. Our dishwasher has the feature to auto open the door when it's done to air dry it.

This all I now have put into a automation to calculate when the dishwasher is; Planned, Running, Finisched, and now emthied too!

No more asking if the dishwasher is going to run tonight, or if its clean. It will tell you with the LED strip!

This is such a good idea, and good execution!
