Creating a SMART POST BOX (Part 1 - Notifications)  @MarkWattTech
Uploaded October 2022 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In todays video I run through some simple and small additions I have added to my post box in order to allow it to send notifications and announcements using Home Assistant. I have a few other ideas and features that I plan on adding to the post box such as:

- a Camera
- a Weather station
- an Outdoor Hub (for extending WiFi, Zigbee etc etc)
- a Smart Lock
and more!

Grab yourself a Brizebox Postbox :
brizebox.com/product/built-in-extra-large (Featured in the video)

Got any cool ideas? Let me know in the comments below.
