NOTE: This is just the waterproof case, the Z-Wave door window sensor is NOT included and sold separately.
Using this as a mailbox sensor with the weather cover, coupled with a small tilt switch. It's working great! Just wish it had purpose built terminals on the board to work with wire. No matter... soldered a wire to one side of the sensor's magnet switches and ran to the tilt switch. Works fantastic. Range is great for something so small. Love it!
Very good product. Got the weather protector case for the outside gate. Will update overtime.
I bought this to go along with the ZSE41 (XS Open/Close Sensor) in case I wanted to use it outdoors, as suggested by the product page. This is a great combination--finally, a reasonably priced outdoor solution, and one that isn't a bulky or awkward DIY solution! I haven't tried it with the tilt sensor, but the product page also notes that it should work with that (it will not work with the temperature/humidity sensor, which I think is a slightly different size but would also interfere with the readings if completely enclosed; I see they have a bracket for that if mounted in a protected location).
Works great to protect my sensor from the elements. This allows me to monitor the back gave of my privacy fence without spending a ton on an expensive Strips product. The only downsides is the screws are incredibly tiny. If you drop them outside you're in trouble.
I'm using this waterproof cover on a XS sensor that's mounted to my gate. Another one is attached to my hot tub to see if the cover is open.
Overall, it works pretty well. It looks a lot more professional than using a plastic bag, and it should last a lot longer. The screws that are included are stainless, and they're long enough to make a secure connection.
The batteries on these sensors last long enough that unscrewing the cover to change them every few years shouldn't cause any issues. I'd buy this again if I need to protect any more outdoor sensors.
