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

Push notification to phone?

I actually use a method that sends a notification every 30 seconds until the dryer detects movement again (or I go into the app and hit the kill switch)

It works really well because I will forget after 1 notification lol

I have a sensor on the door built in, so i get persistent reminders until the door opens. One of my favorite automations.

I turn the laundry room light on when the washer or dryer is finished. The nagging stops when the light is turned off. No extra sensors needed.
