can the push button be out in the elements? Our front door has very little overhang from rain.

I do not know. Call the Honeywell customer service number for an knowledgable answer.

Mine is under a covered porch, the button is pretty well incased but I do not think it would last with a lot of moisture.

I'm not sure. There was no mention of this in the installation instructions. Mine is mounted on a door that is covered by a porch but the rain is often blown in. I have had not problems.

Ours is also barely covered by the overhang of the eaves, but it seems to operate well. Having said that it is located on the back of our house within a small area protected on 3 sides by the house, and an large tree, which does shelter it somewhat. I've placed the button high enough where it doesn't get any sun or heavy weather and that seems to lessen the weather issue. Hope this helps.

Yes. I have a front door as well as a storm door and like to leave the front door open to let the light in. I used velcro and mounted mine to the storm door. You can do the same thing and mount it to the front door and it will serve the same purpose.

I've had this doorbell exposed to rain, fog, and sun since 2011. There is a little bit of rust around the metal perimeter of the plastic button, but that's it. I'm happy with how it has held up.

I don't think so, if you run in the rain you don't want to push the buttons cause moisture can get in.

It is pretty water tight. WE have had only one rain since I installed them a couple of months ago. The three wall panels click together and are secured by the roof and base. I don't have the hand strength I used to have and felt I did not press the walls together completely and did not hear a click sound. I did get them pressed together sufficiently for the roof and base to fit securely. I think the units are well made and Amazon's price with free shipping is good value. I recommend the units and would buy more.

I don't think inside your soffit could get wet, if you put it closer to your wall. You can turn off the switch if the storm is coming.

I believe so to an extent. Only owned it 2 months but so far no problems. Most door areas have an overhang so it won't get overly wet.

I have never had a problem with rain, but that being said, I have a covered front porch, so typically the rain doesn't get in too much. I have seen it wet, but always worked fine.

Yes, very weather proof. We have installed them on 5 outside laundry room doors. No problems in 3 years.

We have two of these mounted outside the bedroom window and have had no problems so far. They've been rained on multiple times.

The manufacturer claims this is waterproof, but it isn't. I needed a doorbell for my front gate that would be exposed to sun and rain. I went thru 4 different wireless doorbells that claimed to be waterproof. None of them lasted thru a single rainy season. I solved the problem by mounting an electrical box (Bell, non-metalic, 1-gang, weatherproof, #MM420C, $8.44) to the gate, and installing the doorbell inside the box. This model actually got wet (before the electrical box cover), stopped working for a month, and then started working after it dried out. I've had this same doorbell for 2 years now without a problem. The price is great. The range is great. For me, that's 100 feet thru stucco and wood. The Chinese-to-English instructions were crappy, but the installation is simple enough without written instructions. I hope this helps you. Good luck!

Yes! We have left ours outside in the rain and so far have had no problems.

Hi Jerrold, It is water resistant as long as the door is shut. If someone tries to put something in it that is to large or long and holds the door open, it could rain in. There are drain holes in the bottom for water to get out if needed. We have had no wet mail and have had some pretty severe rains in the last couple of months. If you are expecting to recieve larger packages from rather than just small mail, get the bigger box. I would recommend this to anyone.

Not sure how weather resistant it is. I put mine under the house at a vent opening. So it would sound off out side but not be exposed to the rain and bad weather. It has been working in that location for over a year. If the alarm trips its loud. Most likely the intruder will run off.

No not really. It is ok in the rain without problems. My dog sent swimming with his on and it seemed to shorten the collars life span. If your new to this door I would recommend having a spare collar around. Best wishes.
