The Discord notification thing actually is actually a really cool idea. That's where it feels like it moves from hobby into daily practical use kind of stuff.

One question I have, if you don't mind - did the washer/dryer come with some smart functionality, or did you have to do somethin like opening them up and wiring into the electrical line for the beep speaker to sense voltage?

My washer/dryer has no smart functionality. I explained it here but I put a device in my breaker box with a clamp on the two lines and that just sends the current to Home Assistant. I read a bunch before I ever tried it and many people have put vibration sensors in/in their dryers. But, this way seems more reliable.

I did my laundry 3 hours faster than usual today because I actually knew when it was done. Worth it to me.
