The Sensoneo Single Sensor 5.0 is an ultrasonic level sensor for trash cans, containers, and dumpsters. It transmits data via cellular networks (LTE Cat-M1 or NB-IoT). The ultrasonic beam measures within a range of 3 to 255 cm, with measurement intervals adjustable from once a day to every 2 minutes. An accelerometer with tilt detection registers when the container is emptied; location is determined via GNSS; and firmware updates are delivered via FOTA. Connectivity options include an external antenna and external GPS; it features replaceable batteries and an IP69 and IK10-rated housing. Configuration is performed via a smartphone app using Bluetooth or a downlink. Only the hardware is included; the Sensoneo software is not included.

The sensor is used for waste fill-level monitoring, route planning, fire and vandalism detection, theft and break-in detection, and service verification.
The standard measuring range is between 3 and 255 cm, while the long-range version can measure from 3 up to 1200 cm.
The measurement frequency is highly adjustable, ranging from once per day to every 2 minutes.
Configuration is performed either through a mobile application via BLE or via downlink commands.
Yes, the sensor includes Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) functionality for remote updates.
The sensor utilizes an accelerometer combined with an advanced tilt recognition algorithm to accurately detect emptying events.
Yes, the device is built with an IP69-rated casing for water and dust protection and has an IK10 rating for resistance against mechanical impacts.
The sensor can be installed using several methods, including screws, clamps, or rails.
