This project examines the methods of turning an ordinary mailbox into a smart mailbox. The goal of this project was to examine the existing technologies and modules to make a retro-fit device which could notify the resident of a house about the presence of mail in the mailbox. In addition to this, possible methods for detecting different kind of mail were explored.
The practical part of the thesis included range tests, power consumption measurements and an examination of the added features of commonly available RF modules. The test data was collected by connecting RF modules to Arduino. The costs of this project implementation were kept low so that the system would be useful for the home automation community and consumers. The project report is concluded with recommendations of usage and methods of implementation.
