StargateUnofficial - DishWasher Status

I was surprised when my wife asked about this one. We have a large room which is a combination of the kitchen, Breakfast Room and the Family Room. My wife really dislikes the noise the dishwasher makes. I added insulation around the unit, it helped a little but it is still noisy if you are talking or watching TV. So why not just run the dishwasher before you go to bed. Well no one remembers to turn it on! A better idea is to let StarGate do just that, turn it on late at night.

Add an Appliance X10 module to the dishwasher. Create an Event based on time, like 2:00am, and send an X10 command to turn on the dishwasher. The dishwasher runs late at night when everyone is not bothered by the noise. In the morning, using the sunrise event, you can send the X10 command to turn off the appliance module. The only thing you need to remember, is to close the dishwasher and turn the dial to start. Expanding this project Sample Code
