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.

I do the same, but my dryer is gas.... So, only need a 110V outlet. Fur a 220V electric, I suspect you would need an induction sensor or similar.
