will the yard sentinel work with the sensor facing the sun ?

Victor, the machine function, however, dogs still come and doo infront of my house, cats still go in my garden, all while Sentinel is blasting away. The noise it makes is annoying and without result so now its in the crap pile of things I should have returned and will throw away in the near future. A WASTE OF MONEY!!!! Sun, shade or dark..... It does not do the job.

Victor, I could not get this gadget to work at all. I had it installed facing direct East sun. I ended up trashing it just before I moved from my former home. It just did not keep stray dogs, skunks, raccoons, cats, mice, etc. off my property.

No it wont. Had to move mine a few times before finding a spot that worked. Needs direct sunlight, then works great

Yes. The window must be opened before the system is armed and it will ignore that sensor.

yes, as long as you have the sensor and the locator and you have it set up.

I installed one on my back porch and it doesn't have a daylight sensor. It comes on day or night if it detects motion. Works good though.

You need to buy the Vantage View Weather Station, which includes this receiver and the sensor suite which transmits temperature, rain, wind, etc. from outdoors an sends it to this receiver. This stand alone receiver only will work if you have the outdoor sensor suite sending it signals (except of course for indoor temp/humidity). Hope this helps.

No. It has to be pointed towards the sky. You need a sloped window or else reception will be spotty at best.

It could depending how close it is to the sensor. We had an umbrella up and the movement from that in higher winds caused it to come on.

I doubt it. We sewed the sensor onto a collar so it would stay right in front of the sensor and still had no luck.

According to the unit directions it will and I think it will too. The sensor works with a 45 degree inclination down the floor in a 360 range. It works better in open spaces than the narrow ones.

Yes.....see instructions.....just close the little door that covers the sensor eye located on the top of the unit. It will then work day and night.

Yes, but remember the solar panel on top of the light has to be facing the sun position.

The answer is yes. Think of this just like a light at the end of your 3 way circuit. If the light would turn on then the sensor would also be engaged. The light (down stream) from the sensor will be on as needed when the sensor detects motion and no daylight.

Yes it will as long as the solar panel will get 6-8 hours of sunlight. I have two of them and they work great. The motion sensor works up to about 10-15 feet away, perfect

I had the same problem. Ended up returning the product. Sun has to hit sensor directly which is hard to impossible.

No, it doesn't, however it should be close with no interference. We did end up having it within 20 ft of the sensor in order for it to work consistently.

It should work fine if you extend the sensor wire to the area that you need to monitor.
