Build Automation to Lower the Laundry Rack when the Washing Machine has finished its Wash Cycle
4 min readJun 24, 2022
I built this automation to help me and my wife to dry our clothes easily with the automated laundry rack. When the washing machine has finished its wash cycle the laundry rack will automatically lower down so we can hang the clothes easily.
To build this automation, you need the following:
- Washing Machine with Home Assistant integration. I am using LG FV1450S2K.
- Automated laundry rack. I am using Steigen Solar.
- The Home Assistant application.
The Setup
To get started, you need to configure the custom LG ThinQ device integration with Home Assistant. Follow the guideline from https://github.com/ollo69/ha-smartthinq-sensors
Once you have configured successfully, you will see similar information as in the above screenshot in your Home Assistant.
