Hey everyone! I’ve been exploring ways to integrate smart waste management into my home automation setup, and I stumbled upon RenoWeb—a fantastic solution for municipalities in Denmark. I thought I’d share my experience and a quick tutorial for anyone interested in implementing this themselves. 
What is RenoWeb?
RenoWeb is a platform used by many Danish municipalities to manage waste collection schedules. By integrating it with your smart home system, you can keep track of your next garbage pickup dates directly from your dashboard. It’s incredibly useful for staying organized and ensuring timely waste disposal.
How to Get Started
- Prerequisites: Ensure you have the HTTP binding and JSONPath transformation enabled in your system. These are essential for communicating with RenoWeb’s API.
- Finding Your Container IDs: Start by accessing the RenoWeb API endpoints to retrieve your municipality code, street ID, and address ID. This involves a few API calls, but the process is straightforward.
- Configuring Channels and Items: Once you have your IDs, set up channels and items in your smart home system to pull the pickup data. Here’s a quick example:

Thing http:url:renoweb “RenoWeb” [ baseURL=“https://servicesgh.renoweb.dk/v1_13/GetJSONContainerList.aspx?municipalitycode=851&apikey=webserviceapikey&adressId=yyy>” ]
Channels:
- Type string : next-pickup-garden-waste “Haveaffald” [ stateTransformation=“JSONPATH:$.list[?(@.id == 1)].nextpickupdatetimestamp” ]
- Type string : next-pickup-recycling “Genbrug” [ stateTransformation=“JSONPATH:$.list[?(@.id == 2)].nextpickupdatetimestamp” ]
- Type string : next-pickup-mixed-waste “Restaffald” [ stateTransformation=“JSONPATH:$.list[?(@.id == 3)].nextpickupdatetimestamp” ]
- Setting Up Items: Create items to display the pickup dates in your sitemap. You can customize the display to suit your preferences.
Why This Matters
Integrating RenoWeb not only adds a practical feature to your smart home but also promotes sustainability by ensuring waste is disposed of correctly and on time. Plus, it’s a great way to stay informed without manually checking schedules.
Tips for Success
- Double-check your municipality code and API keys to avoid errors.
- Test each API call individually before setting up the full integration.
- Customize your sitemap to make the waste pickup information easily accessible.
I hope this guide helps you enhance your smart home setup! If anyone has questions or runs into issues, feel free to reach out. Let’s make waste management smarter together!
