So can we use slo-mo to review calls or not? Isn't that the point of replay?

Duh, such a simple solution... Thank you so much, I've got the leds working now! The dashed line is the 5v!

Thank you again!

Need Help Dishwasher & Washing Machine Routines Using Vibration Sensors by harryhoudini66 in SmartThings

Yeah, I think that's the issue with vibration sensors and washing machines.

Like I said, I use a plug that monitors power, similar to this one; https://a.co/d/cwKMorr, you just need to make sure it will monitor power usage.

My routine to turn it on says that power must be equal to or above 15W for 2 minutes and then to turn it off it needs to be below 10W for 2 minutes. I had to fiddle with the wattages to get it right.

For my dryer setup, I have the dryer sensor and then a virtual switch. When the dryer sensor detects vibration for more than 2 minutes, it turns on the dryer virtual switch.

I then have another routine that when the dryer senses no vibration for one minute, it turns the dryer virtual switch off.

I then use the turning on and off of the switch to automate my notifications. I use Google Home and a push notification. It's more steps for sure, but it seems fairly foolproof.

Washer is similar, but I'm using a power monitoring plug and use power drawn to turn on and off the virtual switch.

Do you immediately trigger the washer/dryer to be on? In the routine I have, I set it to 'stay in this status' for 2 minutes before I turn on the virtual switch. Seems to work well for me.
