Motion sensor outdoor
Can you use the motion sensor outdoor? If yes, would rain activate it?

@jeansalemmd Motion sensors are not weatherproof and rated for limited temperature range. That said, I do have one in my garage and does quite nicely there from single digit temps to very high temps, but its only on secret alert. Bottom line, I would not use a motion sensor outdoors. The outdoor camera or video doorbell are okay with their motion sensors.

@jeansalemmd The Motion Sensor is designed for indoor use only. It can operate in temperatures from 40-100° F, but placing it outside can damage the device.
