            @DeepHorizon: That's more like electricity. You need the hub for the car to function - more like a car with no engine included.

    Probably supported by Home Assistant and the new Bluetooth integration as well

    • booboo on 14/11/2022 - 13:06

      Sounds like you can get the BLE hub and flash it with Tasmota. Someone got it working with node red as well.

      A lot of stuffing around though when an Aqara zigbee motion sensor is $15 on AliExpress (if you buy a few).

      Not sure about integrating the sensor directly with HA. I think I'll give it a miss - HA gets complicated enough without having a mish mash of too many different devices to save a few bucks!

      • discod on 15/11/2022 - 07:46

        Interesting, this just got me looking into home automation as I have a few smart devices (globes, IR repeater) I control through google home.
        I'd love to start building a smart home with a hub and some automation routines.

        Is there any particular hub/platform that's best suited to beginners?
        Are there any resources you know of for beginners starting in that space ?

    I bought one before but took it back. Ended up buying some on aliexpress instead that worked a lot better. Maybe I bought a dud. Worth giving it a go.

    • scottb721 on 14/11/2022 - 12:55

      I use their door window sensors and they work well so hopefully don't get any grief that you had.

    • scottb721 on 14/11/2022 - 14:03

      Some stores obviously still had the original price label on the shelf. Still glad I didn't pay the initial clearance price.

    Could this work inside a letterbox? Email me when I receive snail mail.

      That is INGENIOUS! Might get too cold/dewy for batteries to last long though.

      • [Deactivated] on 14/11/2022 - 13:58

        Agreed!

        Edit: you’d want at least ip44 though

        • muncan on 14/11/2022 - 14:01

          Hmm, the updated model doesn’t require a hub, and I could run a long USB cable to power it from inside my house…

          • Naigrabzo on 14/11/2022 - 14:07

            @muncan: LMAO! If you are running long cable might as well be ethernet and just put a POE camera and have a look it. :P

            • muncan on 14/11/2022 - 14:13

              @Naigrabzo: Alternatively, for $10 more the Eufy sensor is battery operated and would pair to my Eufy setup…

              But I’m now also thinking of modding a $10 doorbell to my letterbox flap, and skip the whole smart/Internet nonsense. Retro tech.

      • whats up skip on 14/11/2022 - 14:01

        Use hot glue around the joins and it should be fine, unless your letter box is under water at the moment, which is quite possible. :(

          Might get too cold […]

          Use hot glue […]

          Hot glue doesn't stay hot for that long.

          • whats up skip on 14/11/2022 - 14:08

            @bio: No, but it is pretty water proof and easy enough to remove when the batteries need replacing in a year's time.

            • Naigrabzo on 14/11/2022 - 14:22

              @whats up skip: I would highly doubt that batteries will last one year in the great outdoors. Especially if it's freezing winter and hot summer. I would be curious to find out though.

        • Naigrabzo on 14/11/2022 - 14:07

          Ok so if you open it up and waterproof it using the spray for electronics, it might last a little longer. I do this for all my solar and other outdoor lights.

    • PlasticSpaceman on 14/11/2022 - 14:24

      I use a Philips Hue outdoor motion sensor for this, but get false alerts from people walking past the letter box (shadows through the slot). Been thinking about putting an internal flap on the slot then using a sensor with an on/off switch via esphome instead. But that won't alert me if the postie puts bulkier items in through the back. The other option is a false floor plate with a sensor that weighs the mail - would just need to make it actual snail proof.

      Could this work inside a letterbox? Email me when I receive snail mail.

      Why stop there? Put a BT speaker in there that gets triggered by the sensor, with an "OM NOM NOM" cookie monster soound.

      • Naigrabzo on 14/11/2022 - 15:52

        Can you do this easily? Need a dog bark (that sounds different each time) that is triggered by an ultrasonic sensor that goes through walls and detects anyone standing on the other side of the door etc.

        I can solder etc.

        asking for a friend.

        • Astronaut Joe on 14/11/2022 - 16:01

          If you're doing it inside, the easiest way might be to get a smart speaker (like Echo) that you can trigger to play as part of the detection automation routine.

          • Naigrabzo on 15/11/2022 - 09:23

            @Astronaut Joe: Will look in to it. I do need it to be different each time though. Thanks.

            I expected a more space-age answer from you though. :)

            • Astronaut Joe on 15/11/2022 - 21:12

              @Naigrabzo: What, having a near-equivalent of the Enterprise bridge computer on your counter top isn't space-age enough?

    • INFIDEL on 14/11/2022 - 15:55

      Letterboxes are favourite places for lizards, spiders, etc. Expect false triggering, which defeats the purpose!

      • LowRange on 14/11/2022 - 19:26

        If you use a hub like Smartthings you can also use a condition with a time range so it only triggers with motion and during a time range such as between 9-10am which is when my postie comes. Cuts down on false triggers.

        • INFIDEL on 14/11/2022 - 19:46

          AP Delivery time varies here. Only could limit to working hours.

          From experience, larger Geckos can eat through plastic & set off motion detection.
          "Can chew electrical wiring and damage appliances such as air conditioners."
          And tiny ants invade electronics.

          Just simpler for me to walk outside to check or check when entering & leaving most days.

          • muncan on 14/11/2022 - 20:08

            @INFIDEL: Username checks out 😁

          • INFIDEL on 14/11/2022 - 20:10

            @INFIDEL: And occasional small snakes - life in suburbia! Love it!! But Tech sometimes doesn't stand a chance!

          • LowRange on 14/11/2022 - 23:15

            @INFIDEL: That's unusual, where i live you can set your watch by the postie.

            The problem i have is it's 150 meters line of sight from the house to the mail box. 3 years ago i tried setting up a mailbox notification but Zigbee, Zwave and Wifi wont make the distance. So it's a bit of mucking around trying XBee, LoRa etc unfortunately.

    • OldSchoolHarry on 14/11/2022 - 21:06

      Door/window sensor is a much better option than motion sensor for letter box. That way you avoid false alerts.

    • bargaino on 15/11/2022 - 10:40

      This is Passive Infrared. It detects heat differences, so would not be reliable for mail.

  • Kawaii on 14/11/2022 - 14:24

    Is it compatible with Home Assistant, Zigbee?

  • Fuzor on 14/11/2022 - 14:31

        Can you even buy the hub anywhere? It's not on their website now

  • Poor Ass on 14/11/2022 - 17:33

    how much did you buy the hub for?

    I got grid connect that doesn't use the hub
