Integrating Washer and Dryer Notifications with Alexa

Hello everyone! I recently set up my dryer to notify me when it’s done, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup. The process was straightforward, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I added a buzzer and used a relay to trigger a sensor, which then sends a signal to Alexa to announce that the dryer is done. It’s incredibly reliable and has made my life much easier.

Now, I’m trying to do something similar with my washer, but I’m running into some issues. I purchased an Aeotec Smart Switch 6, which is a Z-Wave Plus wireless control plug. Setting it up in SmartThings was smooth, but I’m stuck on how to get Alexa to announce when the washer is done. I’ve tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions the community might have. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
