I've nearly tripped over packages left right in front of my front door

I've been home when packages are delivered. The mail carrier here
usually doesn't ring the doorbell unless something requires a signature.


Ok if your porch is sheltered from the rain.


It it well enough except when there's too much wind. Also there's a
hedge so the package isn't visible from the street.

I may want to set up some kind of switch that turns on a light if anyone
steps on the porch. Preferably one that can tell the difference between
delivery people and cats.
