Install the ESPHome addon for Home Assistant, plug your esp32 device into your computer, and open ESPHome on your computer (it should be in your Home Assistant side bar).
Click the “NEW DEVICE” button and set up your device. After it is set up, you will see the device on the ESPHome page. Click the EDIT button under your device name. Here is what my YAML file looks like, the important stuff starts with the “esp32_ble_tracker” line:
Save this file, then click the INSTALL button. After it finishes, you should have sensors for humidity, temperature, shake, and awake. You can move this esp32 device close to your dryer now and plug it in. You can set up a dryness sensor like this:
Then you can set up an automation to notify you when the desired dryness is reached (83 seems to work well). You can also set up a dryer status sensor like this:
Then you can set up an automation to notify you when the dryer is stopped. I hope this helps, and all credit goes to DieKatzchen , jmtorres22 , doublebishop and others for figuring all this stuff out.
