SuperChart in Blynk is able to display the real time data of the trash can . Interval of 1 hour, 6 hours, 1 week, 1 month as well as 3 months are displayed along with the trash level.
From the graph - when the time (x-axis) is 22:25:30, 25cm = 0% full on the trash can ;
<10cm = notifications will pop out; 0cm = 100% full on the trash can.
This aid in monitoring the period of collection by observing the peak time when the trash can is full.
Data In Serial Monitor signify that ESP8266 successfully connected to the
Wi-Fi.
The gauge widget shows the trash level from 25cm to 0cm:
25cm: the trash can when it is empty
0cm: the trash can when it is fully occupied.
When the ultrasonic sensor, installed underneath the trash can lid, detects the trash level to be <10cm, Arduino will notify its user via Blynk application with Blynk built-in notifications and e-mail set from the application, with the message: "Rubbish is ready to collect". The notifications will keep on sending until the trash can is cleared up.
