We can't see the mailbox from the house - it's down at the end of a
fairly long drive. I'd like to know whether the postie's been, without
having to bundle up and slog down the drive in winter weather - it would
also be good to have at least a little warning before guests drop in.

Ideally, I'd like more than one sensor - one perhaps _inside_ the box,
so passing sheep, cattle and cats don't set it off, and one part-way up
the drive (above cat level), as a drop-in-guest-detector.

Wireless, of course, with a plug-in receiver.

Anyone here have useful experience of such things?

Interesting.
Have you used one yourself?


Well not exactly ;-)
I read about one being hacked with a raspberry pi to do emailed
alerts with pics so I bought one from US Amazon (dvd to UK) but
not got tuit yet...
