I only have a single power meter, connected to my main power line.

So I cannot single out the various appliances by power consumption; but I came up with a simple way of telling if a power-consuming appliance has completed, like my tumble drier which is in my basement.

First create an input_boolean, this will hold the state that an appliance is on.

Go to Settings, Devices and services, then Helpers, and click Create helper.
