+    <p>Home Assistant will join this year for <a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/">Hacktoberfest</a>, an event organised by DigitalOcean and GitHub to support and celebrate open source. The idea is that open source projects like Home Assistant will gather a bunch of entry-level bugs, features and documentation enhancements and that you, a current or future contributor, will fix them. If you submit four pull-requests during the month of October you will have earned yourself a limited edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt!</p>

-<p>Today I’ll show you how I used Home Assistant, a NodeMCU (ESP8266), and a couple of accelerometers to automate our laundry room.  This is a rewrite of an <a href="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/08/26/laundry-automation-with-moteino-mqtt-and-home-assistant/">old post</a> where I did the same thing using a Moteino &amp; Raspberry Pi.  This version only requires a NodeMCU.</p>
-<p>We have an older washer and dryer which doesn’t have any form of notification when cycles complete.  Home Assistant was the obvious solution, I just needed to create sensors for the washer and dryer.  I tried using sound sensors but found them unreliable.  I ended up using an accelerometer attached to the back of each appliance.  I also added magnetic reed switches on the doors of the washer and dryer to detect whether they’re open or closed.  I connected the accelerometers and reed switches to an NodeMCU which will relay the data to my MQTT broker.</p>
