🔍 Smart hint
- Liquid Level Monitoring: Ideal for water tanks, reservoirs, or chemical containers, automate pumps or alerts based on fill level.
- Parking Occupancy Detection: Detect vehicle presence in garages or outdoor spots for smart signage or gate control.
- Stock Level Sensing: Monitor material levels in bins or silos for inventory automation.
- Vibration-Triggered Measurement: Useful in dynamic environments where movement initiates data capture.
⚠️ Warnings
- Avoid placing near strong vibrations unless using vibration-triggered mode intentionally.
- Ensure proper mounting to avoid misreading, sensor must face the surface directly.
- Not suitable for highly reflective or absorbent surfaces (e.g., mirrors, foam) which may distort ultrasonic readings.
- Battery life may vary based on measurement frequency and environmental conditions.
