I have the circuits for all my "dumb" appliances monitored by my homeassistant. Then HA sends notifications to my phone. And it doesn't need to send 3.6GB to the internet to do it.
Power monitors can tell when a washing machine is running and the notifications are based on that
You can do the same with a vibration sensor
Sure, just throwing out ideas. I already have a vibration sensor so that's the route I'm going for the dryer when I move
exactly, i use https://iotawatt.com/ to monitor at the breaker box. Integration works well with HA
