Samsung dryer

I just installed a new Samsung DV6000T dryer with SmartThings capabilities.

Since the integration to SmartThins is already done in our Home Assistant setup (see the post about the Samsung washer), the installation of this dryer was pretty straightforward.

After I had added the dryer to SmartThings (following the instruction on the first-time setup), I had to reload the SmartThings integration. It is to the possibility to reload the integration. You could just restart the entire server, or just right-click on the integration and choose “reload” – I prefer this method.

The new dryer was automatically detected, and the setup is all done.

Note – I recommend creating a new sensor in configuration.yaml to show the remaining time left for the ongoing job. Just copy/paste the following code, and restart Home Assistant:

 - sensor:
      - unique_id: dryer_remaining_time
        name: 'Dryer Remaining Time'
        state: >-
          {% set rem_h = (as_timestamp(states.sensor.torketrommel_dryer_completion_time.state) - as_timestamp(now())) | timestamp_custom('%-H', false) %}
          {% set rem_m = (as_timestamp(states.sensor.torketrommel_dryer_completion_time.state) - as_timestamp(now())) | timestamp_custom('%-M', false) %}
          {% if int(rem_h) > 0.9 %} {{ rem_h }} hour(s) and {{ rem_m }} minute(s)  {% else %} {{ rem_m }} minute(s) {% endif %}
