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.)

@Edent won’t the rice cooker element cycle on and off while cooking? You might need to wait for it to be idle for X minutes.

@boffbowsh
Yes, probably. What do you use to check for that?
