I added this $29 smart sensor to my mailbox and it's one of my favorite home upgrades ever

The Ring Mailbox Sensor's antenna installed on the back of a mailbox.

I check my email countless times each day but the same can’t be said for my mailbox but for good reason. Unlike with my inbox, I almost never get physical mail I’m actually excited to open. Instead, it’s usually just a pile of bills and junk mail and the latter would be much better off in my spam folder.

Due to this, unopened mail has a tendency of piling up in my mailbox. In fact, it actually got so bad a few years ago that the post office stopped delivering mail to my home. This was the wake-up call to finally do something about it which is why I installed a smart sensor in my mailbox.
