It has 51 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated November 10, 2026. Wasp in a Box is a Marketplace integration that provides occupancy helpers for enclosed spaces such as bathrooms. Each helper combines a motion sensor and a door sensor to keep a room marked as occupied while a person stays inside, even when they are still or out of range of the motion sensor. It is meant for single occupancy rooms where the door is shut when in use, and it does not work for multiple occupancy. Settings include a door closed delay, a door open timeout, and an immediate on option that decides whether occupancy turns on at once or after the delay. A reset action sets the state to unoccupied and cancels pending timers, and the motion and door states are exposed as attributes on the binary sensor. It runs locally and is set up in the UI.
