This project covers a detailed tutorial to make an IoT based Smart Dustbin which allows to check if the dustbin is full or empty through a webpage. This dustbin updates its status in percentage in every 5 seconds, and when the dustbin is filled more than 70%, it sends an email that your dustbin is almost full. Here an ultrasonic sensor and NodeMCU is used to build this smart dustbin project. The ultrasonic sensor calculates the occupancy by detecting the trash in the dustbin. The distance between ultrasonic and trash is converted to percentage so that instead of showing two or three levels, we can show the dustbin status in percentage. IFTTT Webhooks is used to get the data from NodeMCU and send an email whenever the trash level crosses the 70% criteria. View the full tutorial here.
