Customers find value in the Wi-Fi Smart Mailbox Sensor for its mail notification feature, which conveniently alerts them when their mail arrives. The easy setup process is also appreciated, with users describing it as simple and hassle-free. However, some customers express concerns about the requirement for a bridge to operate the sensor and the relatively short battery life, which necessitates frequent battery changes.

Batteries die rather quickly requiring me to unlatch the product and change the same. The outside of the mailbox comes off causing the bridge to not work. Lots of upkeep for sure. Also, have lost the ability to know when it is opened and mail placed in the box by the postman/woman.

I needed extra coverage beyond the RING cameras and floodlights so these fit my need perfectly. The are designed for extreme weather & are easy to setup and tie into my existing RING system. You can set it up so when it activates, you can have it notify any or all of your other RING devices to notify you and turn on the other cameras and floodlights. Good buy for my needs.

Works for me, no bridge but I did use the included antenna. I link it with my doorbell camera that will show the mail truck go by.

Finally got the ring mailbox sensor installed. I asked the person who popped up on you website if I needed the bridge for this item and they said no. As it turned out I did need the bridge to make this work. So please make sure your employees know this. So the sensor has been installed and is work we’ll.

My company has a drop box located outside of the building that customers can use (after hours) for documents, payments, etc. This is a fantastic way to know exactly when the things have been dropped off. We first tried to use a regular Ring motion sensor for this purpose, but the addition of the built-in antenna is what this device needed. Works like a charm and super easy to install.

Our mailbox is located on the road about 100 feet from our door. It is great to be notified when our mail has been delivered since we do not receive very much snail mail these days.

Very helpful device. Especially with a mailbox that is 20 yards away and not with in sight from the house. That distance made it a little tricky to connect to the Ring Bridge. I had to connect while the 2 devices were close together, then install in the mailbox. That distance also drains the batteries quicker it seems. But still worth it.

Pretty easy to install, does not come with a lot of instructions so you have to watch some YouTube videos.

You have to buy a bridge to work this. We have a mailbox thief in our neighborhood so I bought one of these so that when the mailman puts the mail in the box, I know it is there so that I go and get it out. I did think it made a noise if someone opens the box, but it does not it just sends you an alert the box has been tampered with, when the thief comes through in the middle of the night when he opens the mailbox, it lets me know O

I bought this for my son. He forgets to check his mail often and lives in the city. This lets him know when someone opens his mailbox.
