We bought a condo very recently, we found an in-wall safe. The sellers said it was installed by previous owners before them, they never tried to get in themselves.

Any help would be appreciated?

It’s asking for a 4 digit code.

Every time we enter a wrong code, it shows ‘error’ on its display.

I don’t know anything about safes.

Looks like the brand is ‘Challenger’.

I was tired of the family loaded dirty dishes into a a dishwasher full of clean dishes and us having to re-run the dishwasher and waiting for longer for clean dishes.

I added a ThirdReality zigbee color motion night light in my kitchen, ThirdReality zigbee temp/humidity sensor, Tuya zigbee vibration sensor, and Zooz zwave contact to my dishwasher. I have HA running on a Pulco mini PC, with a SMLight zigbee coordination running Z2M, along with a Zwave ZWA-2 antenna.

So this automation (like many) has evolved over approximately 6 weeks.

I use different colors on the night light to show state of the dishwasher:

Red night light = dirty dishes (free to load it up)

Yellow night light = dishwasher running

Green night light = dishes clean (unload and or dont put dirty dishes in yet)

I took the cover plate off the bottom of the dishwasher and mounted the temp/humidity sensor and vibration sensor directly underneath. I mounted the door contact on the left side which is closer to wall, so its not really noticed. And the night light is in a counter outlet that is very close to the dishwasher itself.

I have a helper input select programmed for the different modes of the dishwasher along with statistic helpers for the temp and humidity sensors, and finally automations programmed.

Notifications wise, I get a notification to my phone for every mode it changes, and my family just get the dishwasher clean notification to their phones. And once the dishwasher door has been open for 1.5 minutes or longer (and while in 'dishwasher clean' mode, then I get a notification with an actionable prompt to switch it to 'dishwasher dirty' mode. The 1.5 minutes dishwasher door open while in clean mode is for the door being open that long to empty and put away the clean dishes.

Automations, wise, for the dishwasher to change to dishwasher running, it takes a number of conditions, it has to only be in dishwasher dirty input mode, the door has to be closed, there needs to active vibration, certain temp change upwards in a certain amount of time in my temp statistic helper, then it will switch. For the dishwasher to switch from running to clean mode, its similar, no vibration, temp change down, only in dishwasher running mode, etc.

My latest enhancements to the dishwasher automations, if the dishwasher door is open while in dishwasher running or dishwasher clean modes, then my Google Pixel kitchen HA dashboard tablet will use text to speech (tts) to say (in a female British voice 😄 (I live in US) to say either 'dishwasher is running and please close door' (because its not too noisy while it runs + the heated dry takes a while after cleaning and is near silent), and if will say if door is open while in clean mode, to remind the family its clean dishes in there, not to put dirty dishes in yet, if they don't notice the green light or forgot the HA notification 😄.

Let me know if you have questions or want the yaml of any of the notifications.

I am obviously enjoying this and am over engineering it 😄.

Here are a few pictures, hopefully you enjoy!

I am attaching two video's in the comments since I can't attach them to the main post of demo's for your enjoyment 😄
