Mailbox Sensor
I just I stay the mailbox sensor, and it appears to be working fine. The mailman just came, and I see that activity under Event History. However, I did not receive a motion notification alert even though Motion Detection is enabled. The whole reason I got the sensor was so I would get an alert when my mail arrived. How do I set this up?

So, today, the mailbox sensor actually sent an alert. I have not made any changes to the setup either. I will wait and see if it comstantly alerts now. Now, I need to try and determin why my Alexa routine is NOT working.

Hey @irishjd! With there being an event logged, there should certainly have been a notification received. Although it sounds like this Mailbox Sensor is installed and setup properly, please ensure that you used the [Ring Smart Lighting Bridge](https://ring.com/collections/accessories/products/smart-lighting-bridge) to connect for notifications. The Bridge is required to receive notifications. It's worth checking the distance between the Bridge and Mailbox Sensor as well as any major interferences that might impact notification communication. I recommend also removing and reinstalling the Ring app to ensure it is up to date and optimally integrated with your mobile device. The Mailbox Sensor can also notify through an Alexa enabled device. I hope this helps! :)
