Is there any sensor / device / tag that could make Homey recognize when my car is parked in garage? ---

~~I guess it should be possible with the [parkingSensor](https://blebox.eu/en/product/parkingsensor/) from BleBox. But please find out for yourself if it’s really possible.~~ ~~Furthermore the parkingSensor isn’t supported by the Homey [bleBox](https://homey.app/a/eu.blebox) app yet. Therefore, it’s better to ask in the app [topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-blebox/71173) or on [GitHub](https://github.com/Piotr-Grochowski/eu.blebox) first if the app developer is willing to add the sensor.~~ Edited, because it will not work. ---

No, parkingSensor is not a connected device. It’s just a radar device capable of LED control to help parking with a car in the garage. It doesn’t have any WiFi or bluetooth to connect to other devices. ---

DIY solution - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU1KD\_aJSMY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU1KD_aJSMY) (I think it could be working with Tasmota and Device Capabilities device backed by MQTT connection) Or probably following the same principle, [Wireless Tank Level Meter App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/en-cz/app/com.gruijter.wtlm/Wireless-Tank-Level-Meter/) with [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005297061218.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005297061218.html) - but haven’t tested myself - just the levels would be the state for car available or not available 😉 ---

You can consider mounting an IR sensor to the right hand wall, with a reflector on the left hand wall, or whatever 😬 The car just needs to block the signal, then the IR output contact will switch. Example: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JMH21T4/](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JMH21T4/) You can connect the output contact to a smart flood sensor f.i.: Aqara models have two screws peeking out to connect the wires to. ![1000037229](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/29561dcca7dfbb22619db079de49c852a6315551.jpeg) Contact closed: flood sensor sends “detection” signal.
