Do you have a light that goes on when the washer cycle is completed? If so take a gander at THIS thread.

So you're afraid you won't be around long enough to wait those extra 10 minutes?BraveSirRobbin said:
HEhe, yea, I guess my reply above didn't make all that much sense!smee said:So you're afraid you won't be around long enough to wait those extra 10 minutes?BraveSirRobbin said:
You could always use Schottky diodes (Vf of 0.15V to 0.45 V each).the forward voltage needed to "turn on" a diode is about 0.7 volts

Here's a closed contact vibration sensor from SmartHome.electron said:Several people have asked me lately if I know of a way to monitor appliances without any invasive surgery. In this case, the person didn't have any status lights, and CR magnetics current sensors seem to generate mixed results. So I started thinking maybe there is a noise or vibration sensor out there that can help with this, and found this:

I requested a quote, and it looks like they are around $4-$5 for 1 sensor (when ordering less than 250). Does anyone know if this kind of sensor would pick up the small vibrations appliance would create?
By your age, one would think that you'd have learned to buy appliances with lights on them.Rupp said:Are you really? I'm 45 so I'm catching up quickly.BraveSirRobbin said:Rupp;Rupp said:Ahhh that new age immediate gratification.![]()

By the way, I'm following close behind.
Actually, that was an original worry, but it turned out that it is not a problem.Guy Lavoie said:The thing about using a bridge rectifier is that the forward voltage needed to "turn on" a diode is about 0.7 volts.
