This system is an ATMEGA328P and NRF24L01+ based low power device to detect when something is posted in my mail box. The electronic circuit shares the same designed as the low power weather station I made enabling it to consume only 60µA when sleeping.
**You will also need to build a receiver station to receive the messages. For that you can build your own or use [this design](/git/Th3maz1ng/ESP8266_dual_NRF24l01_gateway) I made.**

## What is this device capable of ?
The system is able to wait for up to three distinct events (interrupt sources). This means that it can detect up to three actions like :

* The mail was picked up using the rear door by me or a family member.
**Changing the design of the event detection circuit can easily increase the number of various events that could be detected**
The schematic is available [here](/git/Th3maz1ng/ATMEGA328P_connectedMailBox/src/branch/master/schematic/ATMEGA328P_connectedMailBox.pdf).
The device is fixed to the mailbox using two strong neodymium magnets. No need to make holes in the box.
