Mailbox Sensor has no notifications and no Alexa Routines
I just got the Mailbox Sensor and bridge. It's all setup properly, but I do not get any notifications through Ring when the mailbox sensor senses motion. I also setup an Alexa routine to make an announcement when it detects motion, but this doesn't work either. When I go into the Event History, it shows when the mailbox sensor detects motion, and i also have my Ring doorbell camera linked to it, and that works fine. But, still no notifications and Alexa rountine does not work. Very frustrating.

Yes!!! My Mailbox Alexa routine that told me, "Good news, your mail has arrived!" stopped working for almost a year. Disabling and reenabling the Ring skill in the Alexa app solved the problem, and I didn't even have to scan for all the Ring devices again, as they were not deleted when the skill was disenabled! Happy this works again!

Wanted to give an update - it's all working now. After a chat session with Amazon/Alexa, it stems from the AWS outage last week. Had to disable the Ring Alexa skill, and then reenable it. Seemed to reconnect and fix the issues.
