Mailbox is 100' downhill...needed this!
Works great on the Amazon local wifi network (not connected via hub or my wifi). Using the included antenna, I get a notification everytime the door opens. Like others, I mounted this to the backside inside the box and ran the antenna cord through a gap, ...

Works for me in a pretty rural area.

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2025
Does what it is supposed to! We live in the country and our mailbox is 400 ft from the house, it signals every time the mailbox door is opened. I did have to connect it to an Amazon account online so it could connect to Amazon sidewalk to pick up shared signals. Good purchase!

Motion detection works well, it goes off anytime you open the mail door, not just when someone reaches in. Worth it if... Read more

If you have an earlier version of this, you should upgrade.

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2025
I bought the first version of this about 5 years ago. It worked, but it required the bridge, and the battery life was terrible on it - only lasting a few days to a couple weeks max - so it eventually got tiresome of changing out the batteries. This newer version is going on a month now with no batte... Read more

Don't buy

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2025
Well looks like this is going back. We got it as we were going to connect with the echo sidewalk so we did not need to pay another 50 bucks for a bridge. Well we are not able to find it on the list to add to our echo's. We have been working on this now for a 1 1/2 hrs. and I'm fed up. Should not be ... Read more
