Does weather temperature matter when placing these? It's winter and typically between 20-30 degrees here.

Any stick on product should be done over 50 degrees or whatever the manufacturer suggests - warmer temperatures create a better bond. Why risk having them fall off - wait a few weeks for warmer weather.

Yes, the temperature probably should be above about 50 degrees. Higher would be better. I installed mine when the outside temperature was about 80. They are real well stuck.

I am not sure if the Temperature during winter will affect the unit. And ofcourse, this unit must be protect from rain and snow. I do not think it is a reliable device to be used outside.

I live in Vermont... It's cold here... last winter we were frequently in the -15°F range... These operate on watch batteries - 2nd winter running and I haven't changed them yet. My only suggestion is be careful mounting them with screws, if it's cold and you over-tighten the screw you crack the mounting plate.

The manufacturer doesn't recommend it according to the instructions that are included. They suggest moving them "indoors" during rainy weather. I don't know about snow, and depends on how windy it gets where you are, but they'll stay put during "normal" windy conditions. Hope that helps.

I guess it depends on how you define 'cold weather', we have two units that were placed outside from the beginning by our installer and no problem to date, we are in south central Texas. 'hope that helps you, good product

Well, this is on my screen porch so it is not in modified tempurature in a warm weather climate. I haven't had it long enough for the cold season here.

I live in southern indiana. Pretty much same climate. I lost one when it got below 30 so I brought the other one in and nursed it back to health. So these do have to be brough in for the winter.

Last winter I camped for 1 week in the Coronado mountains in Arizona, when temperature dipped to less than 10deg F. I could just manage. So 20deg F should be no problem.

Have only used them over the lake in the warmer months. That is April though October in Maine. So have no helpful info for colder climes. Sorry!

We have had our set for several years. We live in Texas and most winters are not bad. This past winter was a freezing one. Our set has stayed fine.

I keep them out until winter. Not sure how it would do in winter. They are easy to take off and put on.

Coldest I've experienced with them are -7°F, but they were just fine at that temperature.

Not sure but we had a horrible winter last year with temperatures in the single digits and wind chills of below zero. It worked all winter.

I must say they don't look very robust. Mine however is totally exposed nearly 150 yds from my house, on the side of a tree. It has seen plenty of rain but only temps from about 45F - 100F. To date working great other than occassional false alarm when the sun hits it just right. No freezing temps yet, but soon to come.

Im in chicago and last winter was very cold i was very warm in -15 F. When i shoveled snow it got really warm. So it really depends on how much activity you plan on doing in it.

Yes, we've had temps down to 16°F as well as 8" of snow. This is my potting shed and is for plants that can take some cold - they do just fine and don't freeze. More sensitive or tender plants go into the heated greenhouse. Hope this helps.

I don't know if they will work in the dead of winter. I still have mine turned on and so far it has been down to 19 F. They tell you not to leave the batteries in during real cold weather so when it get down a little more I will take the batteries out until early spring.
