blueprint: name: Monitor the state of an appliance - by leofabri description: "`- Version: 2.1.1 -`\n\nThis automation can detect and monitor the state of your appliances by observing their power consumption.\nThis automation blueprint is universal and very versatile. You can use it with anything that consumes energy: a washing machine, a dishwasher, your fridge, the TV, etc. I refer to the appliance's operations with the generic word job. A job could be anything (washing, rinsing...).\n\nYou can pair this project with other automations and services. I designed it with flexibility in mind. For instance, if you want to \ send alerts when the washing machine is not resuming a job, you want to send TTS notifications, or if your fridge is somehow not working and de-icing you can see that happening. All you needed is just a little bit of creativity. You can use the state machine and the custom actions to extend it.\n\nThe state machine:\n* **unplugged** - The appliance is no longer powered. It happens when the user manually turns off the smart socket (from HA or the socket itself).\n* **idle** - There is no pending job, the machine is powered but idling.\n* **paused** - Indicates that a job is pending (incomplete cycle), but the appliance is not performing it. The inhibitors of these state are the ***detached_overload*** and ***unplugged*** states. In this condition the power consumption is lower than the finishing power threshold. The appliance must be off (maybe the user turned it off manually, or maybe the job needs some time to recover). The blueprint is waiting for the appliance to resume. **Pro Tip!** You could also use this to diagnose and warn if a job is not resumed after x minutes.\n* **detached_overload** - This happens when, during a cycle, the appliance used too much power and was suspended. It is also technically unplugged but we don't say that.\n* **job_ongoing** - Triggered in two cases:\n * when a new job cycle begins: the previous one is completed, and the Starting Power threshold is surpassed.\n * when a job is resumed.\n\n* **job_completed** - Triggered when the current incomplete job cycle is finished. The appliance consumes less than the Finishing Power threshold (with the possibility of selecting for how long) \n\nFirst setup?

This has to be a boolean (so: 0 or 1).
off -> the appliance is not performing any job
on -> the job is incomplete.
Note that this entity does not provide any information about the detailed status of the machine (like an overload stuation). For that, you need the state machine.
