Dryer notification idea

I'm looking for a small light up button or something I can use so my wife can see when the dryer is done. I'm going to use a vibration sensor. And was thinking of a small led sign but looking for other ideas also

I use a smart socket with power measurements (3680W) that show direct when it's finish because the energy consumption drops to 0 right when he's finished.

Came here to say this. My only refinement is that I test the average of the last 5 readings at 1-minute intervals in case I get a false ‘0’ reading.
