1, not 0? Just confirming. Too bad it doesn't go back to a "no motion" state after a period of time. If it picks up when the dryer starts how will it pick up when the dryer stops? When X time has elapsed since the last update?
I might be better off using the temp sensor checking the temperature of the exhaust vent. That updates quite often.

Not 100% sure if 0 is possible to be honest. I have set 0 just now. Be aware that the change you make to a Xiaomi sensor can take 1 hour before it is effective.
And there is indeed no 'resting'or no motion level reported for this device. "has been in state for at least" would indeed be the only way to discover the dryer is finished.
My dryer has no exhaust vent, otherwise I might copy that idea :-)-- Wim

Here's screenshot of dryer coming on for a few minutes, then cooling down. It's just a matter of setting the temperature that signifies OFF.
Since my vent sits almost on the floor and goes through the floor you can see the temp drop as the night wears on and the heat is set low.
Unfortunately my wife says if I have that much interest in it, then it should text my phone, not hers.

Would it be possible to add a value '' no event '' to the sensor in this plugin?
Let's say... if after 30 sec there's no new event set the sensors to no event.
I kknow it could be done with events... but it would be pratical to get it from the plugin. ( or deconz)

Matthieu,
The plugin always follows the status of a devcie as reported by deCONZ. II am sure deCONZ is doing the same, it follows the statusses reported by the zigbee devices.
I am also pretty sure that per type of movement you are checking a different timeout applies (a dryer of Brand X has to show no changes for 2 minutes to be sure the dryer is done, another Brand Y machine might need 4 minbutes... etc)
So I do not think this can be done reliable by the plugin.

Is JowiHue seeing the sensor as a ZHASwitch or ZHAVibration? Seems they initially added it as a switch, but recently moved to exposing it as a “vibration”-device. The switch-device is kept for backward compatibility (for now).

If you added the sensors two weeks ago, they will be known as ZHASwitch and will function normally with the plugin. If you did a rescan or a re-add, they will be known as ZHAVibration and are not yet functioning with the plugin as this needs to be added as new type to the plugin. This will be done in the new version of the plugin... no estimate yet-- Wim

Any estimates on the ZHAVibration implementation in JowiHue? I think that will work better than the current ZHASwitch to detect when my washer is finished.

My dryer reporting is working reasonably well with the temp sensor attached to the dryer hose. However, the vibration sensor on the washing machine is quirky. I was on holiday and it showed shaked when no one was home, house completely silent.
I don't see how this could work without a "no movement" signal. Otherwise, one would have to write a script to check time last shaked and that just becomes a chore.

Just mounted mine yesterday, have to run a couple of cycles to see how to solve it, but I don’t think it will be that hard.
