Greetings, fellow smart home enthusiasts! I’m reaching out to seek some advice regarding outdoor motion sensors and their performance in colder climates. Specifically, I’ve been using an Aeon motion sensor, but it seems to struggle when temperatures dip below -20°F. I’ve noticed a significant drop in reliability during these conditions, which is quite concerning given the harsh winters we experience here.
I’m curious to know if anyone has had success with outdoor motion sensors that are not only compatible with SmartThings but also perform well in such extreme cold. Perhaps there’s a model out there that’s built to withstand these temperatures without compromising on functionality. I’d love to hear about your experiences, recommendations, or any workarounds you’ve discovered.
Additionally, if anyone has tips on how to enhance the performance of existing sensors in cold weather, I’d be grateful to learn more. Whether it’s a specific brand, a protective casing, or some form of heating element, I’m all ears!
Thank you in advance for your insights and suggestions. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other create smarter, more resilient outdoor setups!
Best regards,
