My washing machine and tumble dryer live in a semi-detached shed so are not visible at all times and they are both prone to giving wildly inaccurate time remaining readings which makes for numerous wasted trips to check when its time to swap the loads.
So my latest project has been to install a Shelly EM to monitor the power usage of both machines and then to notify us when they stop (power drops to 0), this will send a push notification and now will also launch a popup on the tablet I have mounted in the kitchen. I decided to be a bit more "creative" with this popup and so with the help of ChatGPT I decided to add some Fallout 4 elements to my smart home :)
