Has anyone here used a #Matter smart plug to detect when an electrical appliance has *finished* doing something?

For example, I want to plug in my rice cooker and get an alert on my phone when its electrical use drops to zero.

Ideally using something like #HomeAssistant - but I'm not fussed.

(Looking for people with direct & personal experience; I know how to use Google. Also, not looking for your criticisms of #IoT.)

Thanks to a tip from @dis I can now get alerts from #HomeAssistant when a smart-plug *stops* providing electricity.

That's a good way to upgrade old appliances to #IoT.

Android alert telling me my rice has cooked and I should come eat.

@Edent @dis does that actually work? My rice cooker goes in to "keep warm" mode when it finishes cooking - I assumed that also required electricity.
