    @aaronpk anything in between with mains power where you could put a Zigbee repeater, like a switched outlet adapter or similar?

    Aaron Parecki
    Right now the closest distance to any power is 80ft. I did just stick a repeater on the outside wall up high with more or less direct line of sight, but I think it takes a while for the network to sync up so I will have to check on it again tomorrow to see if it's found it.

    Very glad I took reference photos before I closed up the wall in the electrical closet! I was able to use it to figure out a safe place to punch through a hole for PoE into the studio side!

    Sadly my hopes of getting a mailbox opened notification seem to be a lost cause. The 433mhz sensor doesn't have enough power to reach the 80 feet to the street. The Zigbee one does reach that distance, but not once it's inside the mailbox.

    I just found a LoRa line of home automation products, and while I'm not a fan that their Home Assistant integration is all through the cloud API, I might have to give it a shot for this anyway.

    @aaronpk So I can see now why the home automation topic was burning a hole in your proverbial content pocket. Lots going on there, right now,... on the home front.

    Aaron Parecki
    This is just one of many home automation projects in the works!
