I'm picturing something you plug an appliance into, that will sense the
load. When the appliance is turned on or off, it sends a UHF-wireless
chirp to a little beeper you can take around the house.

Something that will tell me when the laundry is done :)

Background: i have a gas dryer, which only requires a normal 120V
outlet.


This is how I do it. It announces over whole house audio.

More complicated than what you're asking for but
hopefully it's helpful.

If you're responsible for that article, not only are you a fucking
idiot, you're also dangerous.

NEC specifies that for a current carrying capacity of 20 amperes, at
least a #12 AWG copper conductor must be used.

Better change that article before you burn some poor fool's house
down.
