Securely sensed outdoor parcel box with door, presence, and notification events. Securely sensed outdoor parcel box with door, presence, and notification events.

Components

  • MCU
  • reed/door sensor
  • presence sensor
  • notification link

Build steps

  1. Inventory the board, actuators, sensors, and power rails listed for S08.
  2. Build and inspect the low-voltage wiring against the supplied connection diagram before connecting actuators.
  3. Flash the firmware, run the startup self-check, and record the printed board and firmware version.
  4. Calibrate the sensors and limits, then run the acceptance tests at the lowest safe energy level.

Test and expected result

Door debounce, tamper event, weather sealing, battery life, and local fallback.

Safety and limits

Do not store personal delivery information.
