Can these be used outside on gates for example? null

No, this model is for indoor use only.

i would doubt they could be used for outside the sensors would probably get soaked inside as well as outside

I don't believe they are waterproof/resistant. As far as they are advertised, inside use only.

I would say no. Those are not weatherproof.

Probably, depending on the range from gate to base station. However, there is an extender that you could add to extend your devices to the base station.

Yes, just secure them with screws and not tape.

I am not 100% sure, but I am pretty confident they are for inside use, not external - I think in the elements they would not last long...

These are excellent sensors but are in no way weather or waterproof. You could use them if sheltered from the elements. however, watch out for the ambient temperature ratings. They use a lithium-ion battery and it may or may not be able to take low temps. Calling RING will confirm answers for you. We love these sensors and all the RING products we have as well as their excellent customer service.

Yeah I think it can be use but I don’t know how long it would last or work because it seem it not for the outside so weather and heat can damage it and not make it last longer than it intended
