I would like #homeassistant to alert me if I have forgotten to take out the trash. First thought is a proximity sensor of some sort. Or just anything where I can detect that my trash can has moved the ten or so meters away from my house to the road (there are multiple trash cans on different schedules). A sensor that does nothing except report signal strength might also work.

Any good ideas?

@Gjoel don’t know of it’s a good idea, but could an AirTag-alike device work for this purpose?
@moostveen I don't have much experience with those. I'm guess a phone nearby would inform me that the tag is now located near my road, rather than near my house? Maaaaybe...
