How far is too far with home automation? Making a dumb tumble dryer smart is great though!

Aha!!! I’ve often thought about hooking up a pi with a motion sensor to ours. Was never sure if it would be able to sense it well enough. What did you use to do this? Love it!
how did you do this? I always forget to take my washing out the machine, this might help.
@philbowell I got an Aqara vibration sensor! I use the Home app to check when motion has stopped, and it runs.
@cheesemaker It’s actually a vibration sensor! This was just the first test, I need a few more weeks with it to be sure it works :D
@philbowell Oh wonderful! I’m going to have to check that out. Will you be blogging more about it?
@cheesemaker Yes! And I’ll be talking about it on a future episode of Automators too :D
