false starting trigger #29

I have an issue which is randomly i get a small electric spike which causes this automation to think the dishwasher has started a cleaning cycle. Then it completes, which triggers a flashing button on my dashboard to start going off because i have it as a way to show us the dishwasher is complete. It also removes a dishwasher pod out of inventory on the finish cycle so now i have to add it back in. Is there a way to create a start timer to make sure the initial spike lasts X time before it assumes the state of the dishwasher is now "Running" vs "idle" dishwasher

I'd like this too. I'm using it to monitor power load of an instant gas hot water system. I want to know when someone has a very long shower, but only if it goes longer than X minutes. So 1 minute hand washing shouldn't count. A start delay would work fine - but there could be other fixes with a script that checks active time perhaps...
