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 have never found a dryer plug smart outlet. If you have a gas dryer with a standard plug this works though

In the UK and Europe, dryer plugs are the same as standard plugs because all our plugs are on 240v.
