Review: This Works Well as a Mailbox Sensor - I bought the Aeotec Door & Window Sensor to use as a Mailbox Sensor, and it works very well. In order to get the Z-Wave signal to reach all the way to my mailbox, I also had to buy the Aeotec Range Extender 7. That’s a Z-Wave Repeater. I tried many other contact sensors, repeaters and WiFi Sensors, but the cooldown time was never fast enough. This contact sensor has SmartStart so it awakens from standby mode very fast. The Z-Wave signal also travels about twice as far as Zigbee. This makes the sensor a great choice if you’re planning on putting it far away from your home Hub. Also, this sensor has a tamper resistant shell, and you’re notified if anyone tampers with the sensor. The signal and sensor work so well that if I open the mailbox door about an inch, it registers that the contact sensor is open. I live in South Dakota, so I can tell you that this sensor operates in the rain and cold. I hope this helps anyone else who is looking for a good Mailbox Sensor.
Review: Pain in the backside to install but works great once you get it working. - I really miss the little triangular sensors Aeotec used to sell. They were so easy to pair, charge, and reset if needed. I had one of those go bad and had to be replaced. I got one of these thinking it would be just as good. It works great once you get it working. It's a pain to get it to pair, the pairing button is hard to reach when you have it mounted. It was hit-and-miss getting it paired. I use homeassistant and zwave-js-ui. I have over 70 zwave devices in my network. This little sensor was one of the most aggravating to get working. But now that it's paired, it works great. Just get ready to pull some hair out with this. But it will eventually work.
