# Laundry Room Monitor

> Laundry Room Monitor

Original author: seasider1960 (source: https://www.instructables.com/Laundry-Room-Monitor/)

## Components

- **Arduino Ethernet Shield** x 1 ([docs](https://docs.arduino.cc/retired/shields/arduino-ethernet-shield-without-poe-module))

## Article

This started as a quick project to provide an alarm and phone notification when a water leak was detected in our second floor laundry room. A couple of years ago the drain hose from the washer somehow came out of the drain and the water made a bit of a mess in the living room below. In a classic case of scope creep (and a reluctance to dedicate an Arduino to just this one task) it ended up as a more comprehensive laundry room monitor that:

- Does the leak detection and notification

- Monitors the dryer vent for an over temperature condition

- Monitors power consumption (and thereby cost) of washer and dryer operation (for each cycle and on a running total basis)

- Provides notification of washer and dryer cycle completion

- Provides detailed information on washer and dryer cycle progress

- Provides a system to notify and record the need to replenish detergent and dryer sheet supplies

All this is implemented with an Arduino, the nifty [Blynk](http://docs.blynk.cc/) app and a variety of sensors.
