“I am considering the purchase of the mailbox sensor. I already have a Ring extender on my system. Will my range extender work with the mailbox sensor or will I need to get the Bridge as well?”

Hi GeorgeD. Great question! Yes, the Ring Mailbox Sensor is a part of the Ring Smart Lighting System and requires a Ring bridge in order to notify you of your mailbox being opened. The Ring Mailbox Sensor is a wireless, battery-powered motion sensor that tells you when your mailbox is opened. The Ring Mailbox Sensor works with your Ring app and sends notifications to a smart phone or any Alexa-enabled device when the device detects motion. With Linked Devices, the Ring Mailbox Sensor can be set to trigger Ring Doorbells and Cameras to begin recording, or Smart Lighting can be set to illuminate as soon as motion is detected at your mailbox.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will need the bridge. I have several range extenders, but it definitely doesn’t work without the bridge.
