ADHD person here.
I installed Home Assistant on a small RPi and used a Wifi plug.

I then I used one of the many blueprints that basically says "If power is over 5amp, and then stop for 5 minutes and under 5amps, then send a message to your phone".

Not exactly easy, but its really fun.

I do have HA, but never thought of that. Thanks! I'm going to see if anyone sells that sort of sensor prebuilt.

There are now blueprints that make it extra easy but this guy sets it up manually and even installed it on your smart speakers.
