This solution would work for a very basic cycle and a machine that actually has 0 off wattage consumption; (My HE GE washer draws 2 watts all the time, even on cycles that's included dwell periods) but I suspect that any cycle that uses a stall period (for rinse dwell or such) would be plagued with false trips.
A solution that could handle different cycles and machines would be awesome. I have yet to find a wattage based solution for my machine.

My GE washer also draws 2-ish watts when it's not running, over 150 W when it is running. Also like yours, there are periods where it pauses during the cycle.
I track when the watts goes below 4, however I delay 10 minutes (just longer than a soak period) to notify me when the wash cycle is complete. When it goes over 4 watts, I remove the delayed notification event, this allows for the stall/soak period and any false notifications.
Below is my current uncompleted wash cycle in which shows the variability in my watts used. I do not get false notifications with the 10 minute delay.
