Dryer
A dryer in this role reports cycle state, remaining time, and faults to Home Assistant, so a finished load gets announced before it has time to crease.
A connected dryer reports the same shape of data as a washer: the running cycle, the time remaining, the programme, and the error raised when a cycle cannot complete. Heat pump and condenser models often add a water tank and lint filter status, which are worth surfacing because they are the two things that quietly ruin drying performance when neglected.
How Selora AI uses dryers
- Cycle-complete notifications timed so clothes come out before they crease, which is the automation clients notice most.
- Fault alerts from the appliance’s own error reporting, catching a cycle that stalled on a full water tank or a blocked filter.
- Maintenance reminders read from the machine’s filter and tank sensors rather than a calendar.
- Off-peak scheduling that releases a pre-armed cycle when the electricity rate drops.
What installers should plan for
Confirm whether the model reports remaining time or only a run state before designing a countdown around it. Cloud integrations lag by a minute or two, which is fine for a notification and wrong for anything that has to be instant. On heat pump dryers, check that the water tank and filter sensors are actually exposed to Home Assistant before promising maintenance reminders, because they are frequently app-only.
