Our dishwasher has no timer. But it would be useful, if we can delay it via Smart Plugs.
When we start the dishwasher, then we can cut off the power-connection. And when we turn it on again, the dishwasher will continue the program.
What should be implemented
When the dishwasher starts, then send a message (like "Dishwasher was started. Do you want to /delay it?")
If a "/delay" message was received, then turn the dishwasher off and ask for a timestamp/duration or offer some options (like "Dishwasher was delayed. When should I turn it on again? In /8h? Or /4h? Or at /06:00")
Turn it on again for the requested time.
Extra goodie: Determine the expected running time and predict the ready-time.
