Automatic bin

[dave7108]

Is there a way to do this..
I've got an integrated bin in a 600mm cupboard. Is there anything I can buy to make to cupboard electric.

Think I've found something unsure how good it is.

Aren’t you better looking for a linear actuator that gives you enough stroke and power to open the door and move the bin?

Wonder how I could set this up with some form of automation. There is a Blum system that is semi automatic.

I have the libero system.

It is very useful if hands are dirty from food prep.

We paid a lot less than the price in your link.

Small proximity switch pointing down to the ground by the plinth would be a good trigger if your hands are full of rubbish or dirty. You can just wave your foot under it to open the door like the tailgate of some modern cars.

Which is exactly the Libero system
