## {% linkable_title Examples %}

In this section you find some real life examples of how to use this sensor.

### {% linkable_title Washing Machine Running %}

This example creates a washing machine "load running" sensor by monitoring an energy meter connected to the washer. During the washer's operation, the energy meter will fluctuate wildly, hitting zero frequently even before the load is finished. By utilizing `off_delay`, we can have this sensor only turn off if there has been no washer activity for 5 minutes.

```yaml
# Determine when the washing machine has a load running.
binary_sensor:
- platform: threshold
name: Washing Machine
threshold: 0
type: upper
entity_id: sensor.washing_machine_power
off_delay:
minutes: 5
```
