Electric Dryer Announcement in Home Assistant Using Tasmota. NO CVT’s!

Electric Dryer Announcement in Home Assistant Using Tasmota

In this video I use a Sonoff SV and a simple 110v coil relay to provide a electric dryer announcement to the house that the dryer cycle is complete. NO CVT’s. No ESPHome. I also show you an external antenna on a ESP device (Sonoff SV) and I recycle a case to mount it all.

I retired from a large mid-western medical equipment manufacturer on December 31 (2019) and decided to try to let everyone in on my life and my transition into retirement. I have a varied set of interests. I live in a 90 year old cape cod in the middle of a small city of 70,000 people. I have a small lot across the street from the city seat of government, but despite that I have a 1952 Allis Chalmers farm tractor that I drive around the city from time to time. My wife has a business that has me fixing and creating cool home decor out of broken windows and drywall screws. I have been known to buy things on 'for sale' lists, fix it up, clean it up, generally add value and sell it off. Oh, yes, I'm getting chickens! But first I have to build the chicken coop and run. It will be like no other you have ever seen. Also will give me something to do. I am into home automation, have a Home Assistant enabled home and so will the chickens! I'll have to give them a password...
