This doesn't work for some of the situations listed. But in some of these cases (washer and dryer for sure) there's a buzzer that sounds. Adding an electical connection to the buzzer and watching that with a microcontroller would be very simple and effective. *shrug* Jon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Website: http://saturdayhouse.org/ Post: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
