Wash is done

Hey Alan, sorry for replying 2 months late.  How's the project going?  Any luck?  Still looking for help?

Was thinking, if you use a smart phone, then install the IFTTT app and set up your recipes to notify you from the app when the laundry is done, rather than email, unless email is more convenient for you.  That works great for my garage door project; both I and my wife receive notifications when either of us opens the garage or when we've left it open for a long time.

As far as sensing when the load is done, there is a nice writeup on a similar project on instructables.com, using an accelerometer to sense vibration.  Another option would be to sense the current through the AC power chord, using a non-invasive current sensor like this one on Sparkfun.  Let me know if you need a hand with the code.
