can I use the receiver on a covered porch?

The reciver will work jus fine on your civered porch. I have one of my recivers in side an all aluminium structure. It works with no probles.

Yes you can. I have one in my shop and one on my covered deck so I can hear it when the shop door is closed.

I would think so. I have it in two places in my house, but I'm sure it would work on your porch just as well!!

I placed mine on an enclosed porch area...It would not ever get wet due to the enclosure...If you can place without rain hitting it I think you will be fine!

We have had it on the porch, a few feet away from us. Yes, it can be on the patio. The unit makes a low humming noise, but not bothersome at all.

In my case and others that I've talked to, unless your receiver has a DIRECT and CLEAR line of sight to the mail box, it won't work. It means you've got to mount the receiver in a window that has the line of sight needed. From your description, it seems that you've got another unit in front of yours blocking the mailbox line of sight from your unit, so in that case it won't work.

I wouldn't try it. The top is open to the elements. Generally outdoor fixtures are more closed off. You probably would get a lot of bugs and they would be visible through the glass. If your porch is closed off it might work.

technically yes. As long as your receiver accepts passive wiring connections.

I want to use a receiver instead of the control untit. Did you get an answer to your question?

I have these under my back patio overhang in Oklahoma City. With frequent severe weather (hail, thunderstorms, high winds, etc...), I used a self-fusing silicon tape to cover the terminals. This has worked extremely well. As long as your receiver can push these speakers, you should have no worries.

I haven't installed my unit outside yet. I have it plugged in inside the house. I rent camper spaces and the people in the camper about 500 feet away had to hook up a receiver to get good reception in there camper. I think if I had it installed outside they would pick it up fine. My neighbor has one and he picks it up good all over his farm and can get 2 bars half a mile away. He mounted his on top of his tallest barn. If you aren't able to get enough bars maybe you could put a receiver/router thing on (I don't know what they put on but it was something they already owned)

If you have a outside antenna you just have to get the right connector in order to use it, other wise the antenna that comes with it will work fine. Also you can adjust the sensitivity of the receiver so you receive only close agencies.

It depends on how the original receiver was installed in the fan. Mine was installed in the cover that sat flush against the roof I have also seen them installed above the fan in the ceiling. It is very simple to install depending on the location.

It is not intended for outside use although it is rated for humidity 20-80% and thus might be able to be used in a covered porch for example. The strict answer is no though.

I suppose you could... As long as the covering allowed sound to travel thru... Problem is there is an infra red remote signal receiver on the unit.It can install within about 3/4 of an inch below the tv.

I use it for outdoor lighting, but the receiver is inside the garage. Florescent lights do not work on this system.

Yes, if you have the ability to install the gate strip and closure strip. The strips usually are screwed into the wall and could be fastened the same way on a porch.

As long as you have the option to connect a doorbell style button, it should work. The receiver itself can act like a button if pressed on.

I use it outdoors but under porch. It's worked fine for about 1 1/2 years, but the one issue is that with a recessed light there is an annoying space where a bird can build a nest. So one might want to get the one with a cover that prevents that.
