First, the installation. That wasn't too hard, though you must have a drill or some other way to punch a hole in your mailbox. Fortunately, I happen to have a cordless drill that easily went through my plastic mailbox door. I would imagine this would be more difficult for those with a metal mailbox if you don't have a drill bit for metal or if you don't have a cordless drill and no long extension cord. Once you have that hole drilled, the rest is super easy. Antenna (also doubles as a "ring protected" sign" goes outside, cable goes through the hole, adhesive for the sensor inside, and a couple of adhesive cable clips inside. That's it. The unit uses 3 standard AAA batteries, which is great for reasons I will get into in a few minutes. Anyway, nothing crazy like the odd size batteries found in most of the other Ring sensors. Inside the house, you'll be installing a Ring Bridge which is also a no-brainer. It's just a small box that you'll want to place near the part of your house that's closest to the mailbox, and it just plugs into a standard power outlet. Now it's just easy software setup, same as any other sensor. Operationally, this works great when it's working, which fortunately is most of the time. You can set up notifications on your Alexa device so that it audibly gives an alert when the mailbox opens. Mine says "You've got mail!" so I know when the mail is here. Also, you can get notifications on your phone or tablet when the mailbox opens. I have this as well so that at work I'll know that I've had something show up and that I need to pick up my mail on the way in. Lastly, you can view the status of the sensor in the Ring app to see if it's currently detecting motion. It isn't a switch that shows opened or closed, its a motion detector that picks up motion when the door opens and usually again when it closes, and if the door was left open, it'll be picking up motion every time anything happens around it. I sort of wish it was more of a switch with opened/closed status but it is what it is. Most of the time this is OK. You can also see the history where it's logged what times and days it detected activity. Here's another nicety. It works for linked activities in the Ring app, so I have my doorbell camera start recording every time the mailbox has activity so that I can get a video of anybody who's just opened the mailbox. If I see anybody other than the white mail truck, I'll know somebody has been snooping in mailboxes or stealing mail. Combined with the "informed delivery" notices I get online from the post office, if I'm expecting any mail and then it's not in the mailbox, I'll be able to see the car that took the missing mail... maybe not 100% helpful since I don't have a camera to photograph a license plate, but it's something still. All of this makes for a nice system to either know you've gotten something or more if you are after what I'm set up to do. For all of this, it works reliably. The glitches.... 1) For a few days I was getting a bunch of false alerts. It kept telling me motion was detected when there was nothing happening and it was closed the whole time. Camera recorded no cars and no people. This stopped again, and I've seen others complaining online about the same thing so I wonder if there was a software update that broke something that could have then been fixed soon after. No big deal here, because like I said, it hasn't ever done this again once it stopped. 2) The battery life is terrible. Here's where those standard AAA batteries comes in handy because you're going to be replacing them regularly. Seems like mine are lasting just a couple of months or so. Just replaced them today, so to get a fair idea of how long, I just logged the date and I'll compare next time or two in order to gauge the actual life and see if it doesn't just FEEL like it's such a short time and maybe it's really lasting longer than I seem to think. UPDATE: I've tracked the life for a while and although the company estimates 1 year with 8-10 activations per day, mine gets just 2 activations per day (mail delivery, then me getting main) and it lasts almost exactly 3 months. Maybe something like lithium batteries might last longer but standard Amazon AAA alkaline batteries just don't last very long. 3) There is no "low battery" notification at all. One day you'll just notice that you've gotten mail and hadn't been notified and you won't even be sure how many days this has happened and you also hadn't gotten a notification but didn't think about it. You'll check the app and see that the thing isn't communicating and once you change the batteries all will be good again. 4) It's a bit of a pain to change the batteries, but not monumental. Others complain that they must remove the adhesive to do this but I don't know why that's true for others. Mine does have a couple of clips -- one on each side -- and I can pop those out with a small screwdriver and the sensor comes right off while the adhesive-held back stays put. I change the batteries, then pop it back in, no big deal. It's just a bit of a pain to remember to bring that small screwdriver and then to pry the clips just right. Also, lining up the antenna cord when snapping it back on can be tricky but also not monumental. 5) The software is really not ideal. In having this connect to the Ring system through a Ring Bridge, which was meant for light bulbs and similar smart lighting devices, the system treats this as if it's a smart lighting device and so it shows up mainly under the smart lighting section. For a long time this was the only place you could go -- you had to drill down through smart lighting to get to it, not very intuitive, and there were some weird quirks in trying to configure and monitor it since it was there and not where you'd expect it. They've sort of alleviated this by adding a new section for "Mailbox sensors" where it appears, but there is still an entry for it also under the smart lighting devices. I only just noticed this new entry which now does seem to operate like a normal sensor would (not as it previously was viewed) so maybe the quirkiness is gone -- too early for me to tell, but promising. Overall, it does work reliably and does exactly what I want, so I have no regret about buying it. As I said, the one change I'd have considered if I were designing this myself would be perhaps to have it be some kind of opened/closed switch rather than a motion detector, but there are also drawbacks to that (installation of that might be much harder, and where do you put that switch anyway, and all the mailbox types ...) But in the end I do recommend this if you have any reason for wanting to know if your mailbox has been opened, whether for security monitoring or just to know that it's time to go pick up your mail. The price is not too bad, though a bit on the high side if you must also buy the bridge because you didn't already have one for some other device. And yes, you MUST get that if you don't have one already. It will not work at all without a bridge. The one you might be using for your other Ring-branded smart lighting devices WILL work with this, though, so if you do have that, this goes from being "not terrible" to a good deal.

I purchased both the ring mailbox sensor and the ring bridge because the mailbox sensor requires the ring bridge to work. The products came as described. Once the bridge was installed I found it easy to install the mailbox sensor. And once the mailbox sensor was installed there is not much to do except receive your notifications. Here are some things I think could be improved: 1) I installed this device on sept 11th 2023 and I had to change the batteries on October 14th. Because the battery dies so regular I think that the device should come with Velcro or something to allow you to remove the mailbox sensor from the mailbox to change the batteries 2) My wife has the ring mobile app installed, linked to my account, and she does not receive notifications from the mailbox sensor. I am the only one checking the mail, but still it would be nice if she was able to see the notifications and the installed mailbox sensor 3) To install a mailbox sensor you have to first install the ring bridge. But to install the ring bridge you have to go under lighting. Why not just have mailbox sensor on the add new devices menu and have a note that says requires ring bridge. This would make it extremely user friendly. Conclusion I think the mailbox sensor works and does what it says it does however if they fix the thing pointer out above thent the product would be an amazing product.

(Updated Review) Ring’s Community Support contacted me after a negative review. Thanks to their action, I believe, the functionality promised through Alexa integration has been restored. I have had the Ring Mailbox Sensor since January 2023 and it has been working great. It was easy to install and easy to configure in the Alexa app to integrate with other functions, like turning on lights. After a Ring App update on or about October 19th the Alexa integration was broken. The device did notify me via the Ring App that the mailbox was opened but did not launch my Alexa routine as it has since installation in January 2023. It’s important to me to notify the whole household not just my phone. Ring support confirmed that the Ring App update did cause the integration to fail. I am pleased that Ring support was able to address my issue, promise a solution, and deliver. I hope anyone considering purchasing the Ring Mailbox Sensor will consider the support provided an important part of the product’s overall value. My only regret is that it took a negative review to get their attention but that seemed to work.
