Could you build this?

Partial The ESPHome/Home Assistant configuration and dashboards are vibe-codeable, but decoding the washer's proprietary signal protocol requires hardware probing and reverse engineering that AI coding alone won't supply.

What it would actually take: Start by tapping the appliance's communication bus (likely a serial or proprietary interface) with a logic analyzer or ESP board and capturing frames under known machine states. Then decode the protocol, write an ESPHome custom component to parse it, and expose entities to Home Assistant. The hard part is the hardware and protocol analysis, which needs embedded and electronics skills plus a physical test machine.
