“Can this sensor be used on something other than a mailbox, say a gate that I want to know if it is opened? Is this unit weatherproof?”

Hi otheruses. Good question! Yes, you can use the included adhesive or drill bits to mount the Mailbox Sensor seamlessly into your mailbox, or use the included screws and mounting bracket to place it in any other metal enclosure like a shed to track motion around your home. Please note that the Ring Mailbox Sensor does not contain the Ring Bridge, which is necessary for all smart functionalities featured in the Ring app, such as mobile notifications, customizable settings, and the ability to connect to other compatible Ring and Alexa-enabled devices. We invite you to reach out to our Community if any additional information is needed regarding your question. The Ring Community is our first peer-to-peer community forum, giving our customers the ability to help one another by sharing their feedback and experiences with each other. All the best, Nicole from Ring.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It’s a motion detector, so it won’t tell you if a gate is open or closed. It will tell you if someone is in the area around the gate.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you would be able to use it for a gate. It is weatherproof, but I always err on the safe side by just mounting them under one of the supports to prevent direct contact with rain/snow. You could also put a small shield over it to increase its life.
