Extending the Range of a MS13A or MS14 Sensor

[Chuck]

Jack,

Get a W800USB and mount the antenna outside on the side of the house the mailbox is on. wI have sensors that are that far away and in an open environment it will go a long ways. There are also some WiFi tags out there that will detect motion and have longer range. I don’t know if there are any that will interface with X4X though. And if they do you may have to upgrade your system for that to happen. I know your are on a much older version of X4X due to the stability.
