Any ideas on how to automatically open a finished dishwasher? (lemmy.ml)

I have a dishwasher that does not open automatically when finished. I can detect when it is finished through a power adapter, but need to open it somehow. Any tips? Is fingerbot strong enough?

You can always couple the dynamite trigger with the automatic ordering of a new dishwasher.

Do you think you could make an automatic warranty claim for the door not being strong enough for standard use?

Depends. This would be one of those weird automations taking forever to debug, because they only work once or twice, and then fail the rest of the time.
