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.

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.-- Wim

I might be better off using the temp sensor checking the temperature of the exhaust vent. That updates quite often.

• set sensor sensitivity to 1
• add a counter “washer shakes”
• add a device “washer status” with values “quiet”, “washing” and “finished”
• add an event that increments counter each time vibration sensor is set to “shaken”
• when counter reaches 12, set status=washing
• when vibration sensor has been “shaken” for 10 mins AND status=washing, set status=finished
• when washer door opens or at 2am (to reset false vibrations that could gather up over a few days if the washer hasn’t been used), reset counter and set status=quiet

Sounds like you are doing nice checks here! You have two vibration sensors on the washer (also the door, or is this a different sensor?) ?
Be aware though, I am here working on the latest updates on deCONZ vibration sensor, the "old" status, even the device will be orphaned when the new plugin update will come out. The changes on vibration sensor are very interesting, but it will leave me no choice other then to radically change the behaviour of the plugin.for vibration. One big change is that there wll be a "vibration" device that reports "movement" or "no movement", which will replace the current "shaken" status. Also new statusses will be shown on the position of the device as well the angle the device is in, With the curent state even a knock on the desk I a working on is enough to trigger the sensor in its high sensitivity setting. It is a lot better behaving then before now.
But this all will have to be on a new device group.
It should not be hard to replace your current event with the new device for movement I think though :-)

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.-- Wim

The vibration stength will be available in the new device group. But do not keep your hopes up high on this one. In my test I dropped the device from high and strength changed to 65 after few seconds (longer then expected). After this test I twisted the sensor, laying on the desk. Strength changed to 135.... I do not see the logic there yet.
But while typing here on my desk, the movement stays true which is good, so I am guessing movement, tiltangle and position (battery up/reset button up/etc,etc ) will be my favorites.

I have submitted 2.0.3.2 just now to HST. This version is supporting the new implementation of the vibration sensor. The old version will no longer work, you can remove the devices on the manage devices page.
To enable the new vibration sensor implementation you have to use at least version 2.05.60 of the deCONZ. To find the latest version, go to https://www.dresden-elektronik.de/deconz
If you had a vibration sensor joined on an older version of deCONZ, go to the configuration page of deCONZ and start a new scan for devices. Then press the small button on the vibration sensor for 5 seconds (until the blue light starts blinking). This should add the new implementation in deCONZ as weel as the plugin.
You'll find lots of new details in the new devicegroup!

is movement based on the other metrics? ex: if oldvalue != newvalue. If this is the case, that would be a mislabel.
