Yes it is battery operated and it will fit in a mailbox. I am not sure about the humidity but it is probably not water resistant.I think you should consider a door sensor that is a simple open or close switch. When the door opens your system would know the same for when it closes. I know with my Smartthings I cold get it to send me a text when the mail box opens. The door sensor should also be cheaper. I have several door sensors that have been in place for well over a year that still show 100% battery level a motion detector that I put in at the same time is at 70%. You can do the same thing with the motion detector but I would consider the door sensor that is assuming that the mail person closes the door all the way.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Pretty sure it would work bit it has to have wifi access and be dry
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It runs on a replaceable button-type battery. It is pretty small, so fitting in a mailbox is likely, but it would still need to be in range of the hub. Not sure if being in the mailbox would impede the signal to the hub. I doubt they are humidity resistant.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it uses a battery. It should be ok outside... as long as it isn't too far from your hub
