I just finished a project using a Moteino and accelerometers to monitor my washer and dryer and notify me when the cycles are complete. I integrated it with the home automation platform Home Assistant to help with the notifications. It really works well and I just wanted to come on here to say thanks as there is no way I could've done it without all of the information on Felix's site and these forums.
If you would like to read more about it I put up a blog post here:
