@danielpunkass Do you know how many mailboxes the average carrier opens in a day? Probably hundreds…hundreds of times each day hearing that same refrain…it’d be worse than a Golden Girls marathon.
Perhaps stick with just your mailbox.
@danielpunkass Oh, so you *do* know me!
(P.S.: Hope you’re feeling better.)
@leoncowle @danielpunkass FWIW it announces “YOUVE GOT MAIL” inside the house when it’s triggered.
But that’s inside.
Very nice. How do you make the announcement? I’ve been trying to send audio announcements to HomePods, but it’s unreliable, to say the least. I may resort to using a Pi with a speaker, which I suspect you may be doing.
@Unfed The YoLink hub I ended up with happens to have a speaker on it. Which I thought was dumb. But has turned out to be useful.
@danielpunkass Possibly related: a student friend in boarding academy had a Commodore 64 system and rigged the monitor to be able to show TV from an antenna and tuner hidden behind his desk.
TVs weren’t allowed in rooms back then (late 80s). He figured out how to run a line to his door with pennies on the door and in the jamb. If the door opened and broke contact, it would switch back to the computer screen. Safeguard for if a dean or RA popped in. LOL
