It's the best change I've made, was making the action button, the flashlight button. I told you, it's great. It's so good. I still use it for the Whole Foods app. Oh, gosh, John.

John, I've joined the cult. Uh-oh. I've joined the Yolink cult.

So I don't remember if I said this to you at all, be that privately or on air, but I heard you talking about your Yolink. Well, how did you describe it? They're like low, long, long range, maybe low voltage transmitter.

And so I had asked Aaron for a starter pack from Yolink that included one of their hubs. This one does not have Ethernet, which I don't love. And I think there is another one that does, but that's neither here nor there. And it has a couple of, I'll call them contact sensors. I'm sure there's a better name for it.

But basically, when you have two magnets that are, that when they're next to each other, the sensors disconnect. registers is closed. And when you separate the magnets, the registers is open. These are the same kinds of sensors that I have on the garage door for my Rube Goldberg garage door alert system. And so I got, I asked for that from Erin for Christmas. She got it for me.

And since the last time we spoke, I have put one contact sensor on the stationary portion of my mailbox, the other contact sensor on the door of the mailbox. And now I am getting alerted Whenever my mail is delivered and it makes me so happy. Erin has made so much fun of me for this. She doesn't understand why I need to know this.

And honestly, I don't need to know this, but it makes me happy that I do know exactly when the mail was delivered. Do I need to go check the mail? Let me look. No, I don't. You know, 20 minutes later, do I look? I can go look. Yes, I do need to check the mail. There's no checking, actually. I know it's there. It's magical.

Now, the other thing that Erin has pointed out numerous times, and she is 100% correct, is that it is a miracle we're still getting our mail. Because if you look at my setup, it's not only homely, but 100% looks like I've installed a bomb on my mailbox.

I should take a picture. I haven't taken a picture. You have to take a picture. I will. I will. I will take a picture, and I will send it to the boys, and we'll put it in the show notes. But imagine... So the contact sensor, the actual magnet on the part of the sensor that is... that is on the door of the mailbox. The magnet portion is approximately the same width as the mailbox door itself.

However, there's also a little bit of extra plastic with a couple of screw holes so you can mount it on things, right? Well, the... screw hole section is totally poking out past the end of the mailbox door.

And then if you look at the portion of the mailbox that the mail carrier generally doesn't see because it's after they've passed, there's definitely the other contact sensor with wires that are going into the place that the mailbox is mounted on. It's not wood that our mailbox is mounted on. We just so happen to have a plastic one.
