Hello all, I'm new here and would like to ash a couple of questions
1 would you tell me how to build a Bluetooth device that will notify me when the mail lady opens the box to put my mail in the mail box.
2 I need a remote control shock device that I can zap squirrels out of my bird feeder, I'm using a dog trainer device with remote that comes with it, it works,but it's an ugly mess of wires I need to stream line it to look as if it wasn't built by a red neck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Ron

Mount the feeder on a cylindrical pole and then mount a slinky hanging down from the top of the pole.
It will delivery the squirrel back to the ground.

Mount a mercury tilt switch to the inside of the mailbox door; connect it to the dog trainer device remote,
You wear the collar then you will know when the mail comes.

Well to be more helpful. These work well "Home Security Driveway Alarm" I put out dried cat food in the evening and it alerts me when my animal friends come.
