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 stuck a temp probe to the outside of the dryer vent with some of that metal tape. A little bit of tweak to get the trend sensor right and I have a dryer done notification

I have temperature plus abosolute humidity on the vent (it isnt ducted anywhere rather than in the room as is typical for Australia), plus power. I compare it to the temperature and humidity nearby to see when the temperature is high enough and the humidity is low enough for the clothes to be dry.
