I hate having the washing machine in the basement, it’s too out of sight out of mind for 2 neurospicy people 
@chaotin We have the washing machine in the attic and it's the same with us... 
@itsbanhmi Yep that’s equally as bad 

@chaotin even in the kitchen we forget about it 😭 Because it's close, we put headphones on and risk getting into hyperfocus.

I attached a vibration sensor to ours and setup an automation to get ALL the smart lights to blink when the spin cycle stops. Does the trick so far.

@quinze Ooh that’s bad 😔
We used to have it the bathroom for years and laundry went just fine this way, no troubles, no forgetting, no piles of dirty laundry. Right now it’s a struggle, especially since I won’t go down there as I’m afraid of spiders (and basements are prone to those beasts ugh)
