There is a switch on the plug of our washing machine that, among other things, registers whether the power consumed falls below a certain level. With an advanced flow, can I turn off this switch if the consumption remains below a certain level for a number of minutes?

That should be easy, but it depends on the App for that switch.  
Tell us more about the switch and there should be someone who knows a solution.

Do think about how you might switch it back on too e.g. if used for a washing machine.
