@Lice2 Did you find a solution? Having the same problem.

No, unfortunately not.
I now have an outlet in front of my dryer that I monitor.

Nevertheless, seems to be working. It's a known issue. Thanks for answering.

Yes gladly. I then gave up on the sound sensor.

@Lice2 I assume that error is from the code in the lambda while (millis() - startMillis < 500)
which looks like it will block for half a second. You could try changing that 500 to 20, which will probably get rid of the warning - but it means the sensor would only be listening for 20ms every update_interval seconds.
