Outdoor-rated gate sensor

[Vettester]

Put the Aeotec and the Ademco switch in a waterproof box, and the Ademco magnet (painted black) on the metal gate door.

I don’t think the waterproof box is necessary. I’ve had an Iris V1 contact sensor on my gates for almost 5 years with no issues.

Best sensors for gates?

I painted an Iris V1 contact sensor black and used command strips to fasten it to the hinge side of the gate. It has been on there for over 3 years without any issues. I've only had to replace the battery twice. [IMG_2903] This is on a double driveway gate 6' high by 10' wide.
