Is the doorbell switch weather proof? I need to install the switch outside the main door which is exposed to the weather.

We have had ours installed on the side of our house for several months. It has been exposed to heavy snow and rain and continues to work well.

It appears to be so. Don't see any reason why it would not be able to be exposed. We have been very happy with the system.

As far as I know it is. Mine has been installed outside for over a year. No problems at all.

Mine is mounted outside but in a covered location. I'm not sure if it weatherproof but I suspect that Square D can answer that better than I.

Mine is attached to an exterior door facing the northwest where all the weather hits. It's worked fine through the 2014/2015 winter in Dayton, Ohio.

If you are referring to using the device on the outside portion of the door (exposed to the elements), I can say yes, of course, but will be limited to the strength of your Wifi signal and of course the unit will be exposed to weather and it was not meant to be used that way I believe. It also lends itself to being bypassed as it is exposed.

It is not weather proof. If you install it outside you have to make sure it is protected. When the temperature gets below 30 F or so the CCD has a little problem with noise. You will see lots of noise in the picture and the motion sensing will get triggered continuously.

I have not tried mine outside. I think the battery compartment might stay dry but I don't know if the switch would hold up. They don't seem waterproof to me.

Hi,This charge controller is not weather proof, therefor we do not recommend putting it outside.It is better for the controller to be closer to the battery than to the panel.Thanks,RenogyTO

Yes. I have my doorbell secured on the outside of my house and it holds up in weather in the chime is about 60feet from the bell and it has different tones to use even Christmas tones. My 20 just have to press every time he comes home. So yes and it's a great price.

No. Its not weather resistant. Plus its so quiet its not worth the purchase..

I've had no problem. It's water-tight, so it is safe to leave outside when it rains (even in heavy rain). The hinges are solid and the wiring stands up to the flexing in the door well.

I used this switch on my boat; however, it need to be installed somewhere protected from the elements. If you have a such a place with easy access, I highly recommend this switch.

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

The outside button seems to be weather resistant. My porch is covered, but it gets wet periodically. It is all solid state, so I think you'll be OK.

Bob, I think any electrical component with the contacts exposed to the weather would not be suitable to be used outside. You would have to use parts specially designed for outside use.

We installed on a door that swings inside. Not sure why you would need to install outside.

It is designed to be weather resistant. The switches are covered by a plastic membrane and it has robust ground fault protection. As a precaution we cover it when not in use with a contractor's trash bag secure at the bottom with a bungee cord.

I have had 2 of these outside for about 2 years now. They are under the eaves by my front door and in front of my garage out of the worst of the weather. They have worked flawlessly. However, I would not suggest exposing them directly to the elements.
