I have a dishwasher that does not open automatically when finished. I can detect when it is finished through a power adapter, but need to open it somehow. Any tips? Is fingerbot strong enough?

Is the end goal to know if your dishwasher has finished? If so, a smart plug with power monitoring could tell you that.
The end goal is trying to automate when the dishwasher is emptied by a person. I’ve been tracking a lot of power things already to get there status. So in the kitchen there is a led kickboard that shows the color of the appliances
Nice. you can look out for a project with esp home and a contact sensor. Here is an exemple
