Washing Machine Alert with VeraAlerts

I’m trying to setup an alert for when my washer is done washing clothes. I have a VeraLite UI7. Im trying to use a Aeon Labs DSC06106-ZWUS - Z-Wave Smart Energy Switch that’s connected to my washer. I’m trying to make it send me an alert via VeraAlerts for when the power consumption goes below 1 watt for 5 minutes. I downloaded PLEG not knowing what the heck to do but I found a few threads with some info so I attempted to follow those but Im still having issues. Here’s the thread I’m trying to go by now - [url=http://goo.gl/23eEMG]http://goo.gl/23eEMG[/url]. VeraAlerts is confirmed working via “Send Alert” test within the VeraAlerts device. However I cannot get PLEG to fire off an alert to me when I “Do it now” (trying to test PLEG to make VeraAlert send an alert). Here’s my settings, hopefully someone can explain to me what im doing wrong or missing.

Trigger:
t_washer_off = Whenever the energy usage for Washer goes below 1 Watts

Condition:
c_washer_finished = t_washer_off and (t_washer_off; Now > 5:00)

Actions:
c_washer_finished = luup.call_action(“urn:richardgreen:serviceId:VeraAlert1”, “SendAlert”, {Message = “Wash is done!”, Recipients = “%myname%”}, 33)

I tried Immediate with VeraAlerts at first for the action but it didnt work so I figured id try the LUUP command because I know it works when testing it from the test LUUP code under apps…

I also cannot get the debug to work to see if anything is going on “ERROR:Module not found:cgi-bin”

Sorry
cant help but what a great idea.

Need to get hold of an Aeon Labs DSC06106-ZWUS in the UK now!

Good luck!

Just in case.

I saw some time ago, a similar task which was not working because kwh was selected and not kw

Not teaching you to suck eggs I hope.

I think it’s a case of which variable you read. I thing the switch records both instant and accumulated values.

Im not quite sure what you mean. I dont know if the issue is the coding, PLEG plugin or VeraAlerts plugin thats causing it to not notify me when I test it…
