Mailbox Detection

Have you looked at using a contact sensor as shown in the post below? If you have a similar style mailbox, this is a very discrete solution that will not be influenced by passers-by.

Solder antenna wire on 3326-L Iris motion sensor for mailbox

I had same issue and ended up putting mine below mailbox and then put a small magnet on the door. This also prevents mail person from hitting it putting boxes inside too. [image] I will admit signal was still weak and I ended up buying an Xbee for a stronger and all has been good since.
