You need 2 pcs. of the blebox parkingSensor. The problem with this sensor is, that it’s not possible to integrated it into the WLAN network or other networks. This sensor has no transmission function at all. Therefore, additional devices are required that can monitor the voltage of the RGB or presence output:

You can use a Shelly Plus Uni, for example. This device has an analog input to which the presence output can be connected and monitored:

0 VDC = No trash bin
24 VDC = Trash bin is in place

Approx. costs in Germany:
