X-SenseSmart Mailbox Alarm, Requires SBS50 Base Station, Wireless Long Range Mailbox Alert, Mailbox Sensor for Delivered Mail, SMA51

I absolutely love this product. My mailbox is about 120 feet from my house and it works perfectly. I then bought a second one for my garage door. My garage door is WiFi enabled and from time to time, a power outage will inadvertently trigger the garage door to open. I get a notification that the door is open and I can immediately close it from my app. This product is great!!

This is the first box Alarm that I purchased that actually works!

I don’t really recommend this product because I have a dropbox and a mailbox side-by-side and if a car goes by it will act like I’m getting mail and it’s very aggravating because it goes off every few minutes or car drop by.

Great range from the base station. My mailbox is over 500 feet away and the signal has to deal with my brick house. (It probably goes through a window but still...). My Wi-Fi doesn't reach the mailbox but the base station connects to the mailbox alarm with no problem.The unit consists of two parts. There's the sensor itself which detects light and houses a battery, and that clips on to a mounting bracket that you put on the inside of the door of your standard curb line mailbox. The mounting bracket is attached to the door with a peel and stick adhesive. Unfortunately that adhesive will not hold up to very hot temperatures particularly if your mailbox is in the sun. The temperature went above 90 and I started getting false alarms because the detector was sliding around and detecting subtle changes in light. This isn't hard to fix; you just need and adhesive that can withstand high temperatures. I reattached the mounting bracket with silicone sealant design for fireplace components. Definitely overkill but it was a cheap fix and it got the job done. I'm not sure if that sealant is designed to stand up to winter temperatures but I guess I'll find out in a few months. The bottom line is that you're going to have to think about how you attach the mounting bracket in your climate.The X-Sense app is good in the sense that it's easy to understand and it works. A lot of apps for these types of gizmos are terrible but overall I'm impressed with X-Sense. But it doesn't have much in the way of customization. And that means that whenever the mailbox is opened the alarm goes off. So you're triggering your own alarm every time you open the mailbox to get the mail. There should be a setting that allows the alarm to be triggered only once a day, or mutes it for a while after it initially goes off, or turns it off completely at certain times of day.But overall it works, and the one inconvenience that threatened its usefulness was solved with a higher quality adhesive.

The only issue that I have with it, is that the notification/base alarm go off CONSTANTLY when the wind is blowing hard, even though the mailbox lid is closed. And by hard, I mean that we have a lot of 25-35mph winds with 45-50mph gusts here and that sets it off about every 2 minutes during times when the wind is at that level. I thought that the alarm only with off with the mailbox lid being opened, but apparently the lid vibrating with the wind is enough to set it off too. Not a big issue but, that's the only reason that I removed a single star. Mind you, it's flat asMy mailbox is approx 100-150ft from my house, and it always alerts when the mail arrives...alarm on the base unit, and notifications on my phone.

i have two of these, one for my mailbox and one for a box for deliveries. Each one is set with a different sound so when they move the lid I get a different tone to let me know which one it was and the app sends me a notification.

It works and reaches far. Only complaint so far is sometimes it gives false alerts if there rain or wind.
