Customisable kits. This is one of the Milesight LoRaWAN kits in the Smart Home section. For different installations, custom kits or bespoke automation, write to us from the contacts section.
Several sizes. The figures, diagram and table on this page describe the «40 bays» size. The other sizes are selected at the top and are listed further down, under «Available sizes».
40 baysOne sensor per parking space, with free/occupied status updated at every change.
Ceiling mountingTwo screws above the bay: no floor cutting, no conduit.
Two gatewaysOne per level or per wing, connected to the car park network.
Occupancy historyFill rate by time slot, length of stays, rarely used bays.
What it does
- Each sensor measures the distance downwards from the ceiling by ultrasound: with a vehicle underneath the distance shortens and the bay switches to occupied; when the vehicle leaves it goes back to free.
- The status change is transmitted by radio to the gateway of that level, which forwards it to the platform over the car park network.
- From the platform you see the status of every bay in real time, grouped by level and by zone.
- The history records every status change with date and time: from it you obtain occupancy by time slot and by day, the length of stays and the rarely used bays.
- The status of each bay can be sent to your management software, to an app or to the system that drives the free-space signage.
- Each sensor also measures temperature and reports if it has been tilted or detached from the ceiling.
For a different number of bays, more levels or more wings, open-air bays, if the car park has no internet connection and a 4G gateway is needed, for large structures or with a lot of reinforced concrete between one level and the next: tell us the characteristics of your car park from the contacts section and we will propose the right configuration together with the quotation.
1Compact indoor LoRaWAN gateway, connected to the car park network: it collects the bay status of its level and takes it to the cloud. Two in the kit, one per level or per wing.
2Ultrasonic occupancy sensor, IP67, battery-powered: on the ceiling, horizontal, above the centre of each bay. Forty in the kit.
How it is installed
Gateway. One per level or per wing, in a central and high position, on the wall or on the ceiling: the plate is fixed with two anchors and the gateway clips on by turning it. USB-C 5 V power supply, network connection with an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. It is an indoor device, IP30, operating from -20 to +50 °C: it goes in a dry spot, for example the technical room, the pay booth or the stairwell. For damp or unheated garages there is the version with an IP65 gateway.
Position of the sensors. One sensor above the centre of each bay, horizontal, with the transducer facing the floor and no obstacle between sensor and vehicle: pipes, conduits, ceiling lights and suspended signage must stay outside the measuring cone. Minimum distance of 30 cm from side walls and pillars. Measuring range from 3 to 450 cm.
Fixing. With two M4 screws and anchors directly on the ceiling, if it is flat. Where there are down-stand beams, services or suspended ceilings to clear, the ceiling bracket of the complete kit is used, which brings the sensor down to the clear height. No cables are needed: each sensor has its own batteries.
Switching on and numbering. The sensors are switched on by holding the button down for more than 3 seconds or via NFC. You set parking mode and apply to each sensor the label with the bay number, so that the map on the platform matches the real spaces. The test is done with a vehicle: the bay must switch to occupied and go back to free on exit.
Configuration. Via NFC with a smartphone and the manufacturer's free app: parking mode, distance threshold between empty bay and vehicle, name and number of the bay. The gateway is configured from a browser. No cables and no paid software are needed.
Documentation included. Written installation guide with the position of the sensors relative to the bay, distances from walls and obstacles, switch-on and numbering sequence, and initial configuration of parking mode based on the ceiling height and the floor plan indicated when ordering.

Before you order
Is an internet connection needed in the car park?
It is needed at the point where the gateways are installed: a network socket or the building's Wi-Fi coverage. The sensors do not use Wi-Fi, they talk by radio to the gateway. If there is no line in the car park, the version with a 4G gateway is available: each gateway requires a data SIM (not included, any operator, traffic below 1 GB per month) and a spot where the cellular signal arrives, something to be checked on the underground levels. It is chosen when ordering.
Are two gateways enough for my car park?
In a garage the range depends on floor slabs, reinforced concrete walls and ramps: for this reason the kit provides one gateway per level or per wing, in a central position. On the same level one gateway covers the 40 bays without difficulty and manages many more. For large structures, several blocks or very thick slabs there is the «large building» version, with semi-industrial IP65 gateways of greater range, which can also be powered via PoE and are suitable for damp or unheated environments. For each additional level one gateway is added.
Does it work with any ceiling and any vehicle?
The sensor measures from 3 to 450 cm, so it covers the usual heights of covered car parks. It detects cars, vans and SUVs; for motorcycles and bicycles, which take up a small part of the bay, detection depends on the position of the vehicle. It must be mounted horizontally, no less than 30 cm from walls and pillars and with no pipes or conduits in the measuring cone. For open-air bays, with no ceiling, this kit is not suitable: write to us from the contacts section.
Does it connect to the signage, to the pay station or to our app?
The kit provides the data: status of each bay, count of free spaces per zone, history. The gateway can send it to your management software, to an app or to the system that controls panels and bay lights (MQTT or HTTP). Variable message panels, bay lights, barriers and pay stations are not included and are not controlled directly by the kit.
I have more or fewer than 40 bays
Among the product options you will find the 20-bay and 100-bay sizes. The kit is in any case configured on the building: one sensor is added for each bay and one gateway for each level, the platform stays the same. For 200 bays and above, or for an unusual distribution of the levels, write to us from the contacts section with the number of bays, levels and floor plan: we will send you the composition and the quotation for the adapted kit.
Battery life
Each sensor has two replaceable lithium batteries. In parking mode the manufacturer declares about 5 years with 12 status changes per day at 25 °C; bays with very high turnover consume more. The charge level of each sensor is visible in the app, so replacements can be planned in good time.
Where is the data consulted and are there subscription fees?
On the manufacturer's app and portal, from smartphone and PC, with charts, thresholds and notifications; no fee for basic use. Where there is car park management software or a business management system, the gateway can also send the data to that system (MQTT or HTTP): the configuration is included.
What happens if the internet is down?
The sensors keep detecting and transmitting to the gateway, but until the line comes back the status of the bays is not updated on the platform. When it is restored the system resumes on its own, with no intervention. If the real-time data feeds the signage, it is best to connect the gateways to a reliable line and to a supply protected by a UPS.
Is an electrician needed?
No. The sensors are battery-powered and are fixed with two screws. The gateways need a USB-C 5 V power supply and a network socket or Wi-Fi. The work is at height: a mobile scaffold or platform and a drill for the anchors in the concrete are needed.
Do they withstand humidity, dust and exhaust fumes?
The sensors are IP67, with an operating temperature from -30 to +70 °C: they work permanently in damp and unheated garages. The compact gateways are for indoor use, IP30, from -20 to +50 °C, and go in a dry room; if there is no such room, choose the version with an IP65 gateway.
