#3Does Home Assistant support Apprise notifications? For my automation system I have a box where you can enter an Apprise target, and get notified with the nfty.sh app.
It's really nice because the channel name is the password, there's no API key or sign up needed.
I like Zrok a lot for true remote access, it seems to do something similar to what tailscale is doing there, but it's powered by some decentralized tech that seems to leave open the possibility of having the tunnel endpoint in a phone app so it still works on isolated LANs.
Of course this is all theoretical, since in practice I keep my personal everyday practical tech a bit more off the shelf, I just put a YoLink vibration sensor on the dryer.

They do sell dryers and washers that can notify you. HN crowd probably doesn't like those because "OMG why does it need internet?".
They don't even cost that much compared to ones that aren't connected.

#6Hah, facing a similar gripe so enjoyed this. Unfortunately/thankfully the dryer is on its last legs too, so will likely be replaced by the smart washer sibling unit later this year.

#7My experience with "smart" driers is maybe less positive than others. Seems they typically only have one sensor in a rotating drum, if they "read" a t-shirt they will stop because it's "dry". But your jeans and your towel are not. Or, the sensors become intermittent, so you stop using the "smart" features.

Yes, it has an integration for Apprise. You can also just use the Home Assistant mobile app to receive notifications on your device.

I would naively assume the sensor would be a hygrometer measuring the humidity of the outgoing air. What kind of dryer do you have?

For what it's worth, my understanding is that it's generally not recommended to wash/dry different kinds of fabric together.
