A mailbox door sensor that will work in a metal mailbox. Needs a tilt switch that mounts to the mailbox door with a short wire so the battery operated Z-wave transmitter can be mounted outside of the mailbox. If the Z-wave transmitter is inside a metal box, the signal usually can’t reach the house.
I have one of these inside my metal mailbox wired through the bottom to one of these mounted underneath (out of direct rain). It’s worked well for over a year with outdoor temps between 101 and -30f.
It has screw terminals.
What distance is it working at? I have the same contact sensors I use for other projects but my concern was the zwave range to the house?
