I’m excited to share this innovative video that demonstrates how to transform a regular dishwasher into a smart appliance using Aqara products. If you’re looking to enhance your home automation setup without replacing your appliances, this video offers a practical solution that’s both cost-effective and efficient.
In the video, the creator uses an Aqara smart plug and a vibration sensor to monitor the dishwasher’s status. By leveraging the smart plug’s ability to detect power usage changes, the setup allows you to know when the dishwasher starts and finishes. The automation in the Aqara app sends notifications when the dishwasher is done, adding a convenient touch to your daily routine.
Here’s the video embedded for your convenience:
