It doesn't work great, I'd much prefer a direct API to send a notification when the machine says it's actually finished.

You can buy smart vibrations sensors for that. No vibrating should mean it’s done, unless it lets the clothes soak- I have no idea, washed clothes hundreds of times but I’ve never looked to see what the washer actually does
