By following this tutorial, you will make your openHAB setup aware of the current operation state of your washing machine, dishwasher, dryer, toaster, doomsday machine, you name it. This solution is purely based on a power usage reading by one of the many available modules. The solution will allow y…

[image] rlkoshak: the icon selected is what the state gets mapped to in the label, not the Item’s raw state (this is a change from how it worked in OH 1, I haven’t decided yet whether I just dislike that or really hate it, I just don’t find it intuitive) I hate it and actually think the chang…

I thought it was there. Going to add it if I somehow didn’t make these clear. Looks like the info was there but not clear. I reworked the section hopefully making it more clear. Items article revision (#250) gh-pages ← rkoshak:r…

I did some additional testing. It looks like classic UI does use the “unmapped” value (like OH1), basic UI does too (but doesn’t auto-refresh) but the iOS app NOT use the unmapped value. It doesn’t matter if the icon is remapped in the sitemap. test.items Group Test Switch Test1 "Schakelaar 1 [M…

I agree, that is probably the most convincing use case for BasicUI to use the raw Item state, not the mapped Item state.

Too bad at our house we all mostly use an iPhone or iPad with native app to control OH.

My Sonoff Pow (or my Washing Machine, or my Dryer?) detects some peaks, even if the program is finished. Partly because they machine perfome some “anti-crease” actions to prevent the laundry to get knitted. partly because of some internal measuring effects of the Pow. So I came up with an different…

Also just an idea for making sure, the washing machine gets depleted: just attaching a button at the washing machine, which is pressed, if you take out the clothes. I’m thinking of Amazon Dash Button: http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/amazondashbutton/readme.html In that case, adding a item …

Hey Thomas, averageSince is a nice idea! I had my personal reasons to not relying on persistence here but I can totally see the benefit, even for my system now. I’ll add the solution to the first post. I’ll add the button idea as well. I myself just use the machine for it by only turning it off aft…

I hope to try some of this this weekend. But curious how effective identifying your power consumption state on smaller appliances like toasters is. Or if there are multiple appliances going at the same time, if OH2 is getting confused on reporting the correct state of each. I’m also considering ge…
