Mailbox door using an Ecolink and GE outdoor outlet

@joelw135,

I have a custom SHM rule for the notifications (Alexa steps are further down this post):

Fill out just this basic info:

Set up notifications:

Fill out who should get notified and use a custom message if you want. Done!

Regarding Alexa, if you have a spare Android device this is super easy:

1.) You’ll need the SmartApp called Big Talker:

2.) You’ll need LANnouncer installed on the spare Andoid device:
