Hi,
Is it possible to have a new trigger for routines that is triggered when the appliance energy draw is below a pre determined level?
Thsi was for example if a washing mashine finsihed it's cycle and in idle, the plug will switch off allowing an Alexa routine to be triggered to annouce

+1 to this as I would like to be able to be notified when a device has powered off, such as washing machine, dryer.

Hi, thank you.
The computer consumes more than 50W, even 70W if it is in operation. "Off" consumes 3W. According to the measured electricity consumption in the outlet, I would use to automatically turn off the printer, monitor and other more devices that are in operation only with the computer.

This is an essential feature. I don't understand how one can track power without being able to use it as a trigger/condition.
I acquired several P110, T315, and H100 devices about ten days ago, and I could hardly do anything I wanted before the Smart Actions 2.0 update, so it is very welcome! However, many features are still missing to make it truly "smart," including this one. In general, as soon as data is available on a device, it should be usable in automation.
*Another example that I immediately missed: I was disappointed to see that you couldn't create a very simple cycle like "15 minutes on / 15 minutes off" without multiplying triggers throughout the day.

This an essential security feature.
Aged people sometimes activate an appliance and forget it on.
It is crucial for us to be informed about the activation of this appliance (ie > 200W) so we can monitor it.
