Hello, I have a power outlet with a power meter, and I want to use it to turn off the washing machine that’s plugged in once the program has finished. The idea is to have the outlet turn off when the power (W) is above 40W for more than 10 minutes and then drops to between 1 and 5W.

The washing machine’s power when it’s stopped is about 2.3W.  
The washing machine’s power with the timed program is 10W.  
The washing machine’s power when washing is always greater than 40W.

I don’t know how to do the flow, any help?

Thanks.
