My new washing machine sends a wifi alert when it finishes washing. Unfortunately my 25+ year old dryer does not. Does anyone know of a device that would plug into the 120vac wall outlet and the dryer plug into it. Then when the dryer shuts off and stops drawing power, the device would sound an alarm, or, preferable, send a wifi notification. If I still had my old washer i'd get two of these devices. Any ideas?

This would have been good, except the company closed in 2022 and since all notifications were routed through the company first, any old stock available is useless.
My dryer does have an alarm when finished, but it is not loud enough for me to hear it outside of the laundry room.
Hmmm. Now i'm going to check if wifi baby audio monitors have a trigger adjustment so I could set it to not notify for the sound of the dryer running, but to notify when the alarm stops.
