Using a smart plug that measures wattage makes the most sense.

Sure, just throwing out ideas. I already have a vibration sensor so that's the route I'm going for the dryer when I move

I like the wattage sensor since you can also monitor energy use and it's applicable to more devices. Just need to set thresholds.
