Will this wireless fence work around an aluminum sided house and pool?

I have aluminum siding on my house and no problems on either side of the house.

I don't know if it will work from inside the house. My suggestion is to plug it in outside on a covered porch and you shouldn't have any problems. My mother lives in a double wide mobile home and she has it in the home and she hasn't had any problem and she also has an above ground pool and the system works well to keep her Sharpei contained.

It works fine with my DogWatch system. I think I used about 800' of this boundary wire, and a 100' coil of the High Tech twisted wire. (Note--I've read that you shouldn't mix and match different types of boundary wire as they may transmit the fence signal different distances.)

You probably can, however, I kept it outside. The metal box might prohibit the transmission of the wireless signal.

Yes, that might beyond the edge of possible, actually, due to Z-Wave's typical range being about 300 ft, and this particular device's manufacturer's stated range of "Up to 100 feet line of sight between the Wireless Controller and /or the closest Evolve ReceiverModule"So unless you have a power post every 100 ft between controller and the boat house (where you can install a light or outlet module to function as a repeater), I would not expect this to function particularly well. Z-Wave's 900MHz radio wave and bodies of water don't always behave predictably either. due to some signal dissipation, absorption and reflection... At any rate: I would only give this about a 20-25% chance of functioning without a repearter.

I do not know about a pool but it works well around the stones our shed sits on. A family member built a concrete patio with stones around the edging and they have worked well.

No it will not work. If it has a true line of site it will work, but near line of site will not.

Well, the unit itself cannot, but the radio signal that it uses will make it through with significant attenuation. The unit was designed to work its best with a line-of-sight signal path, but if you can tolerate a much reduced distance, it will work with obstacles in the way. DON'T count on much signal getting through a metal barrier like aluminum or steel siding.

Hello John, Our cables would work fine tucked under aluminum siding due to the triple shielding it has. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support

aluminum siding (or foil sheathed insulation board, or a metal trailer) turns your house into a Faraday cage... RF cannotget in or out, except thru holes (windows, etc) -- so you can only use an indoor antenna if you put it near a windowfacing toward the antenna's you need to pick up from. Good luck.. problem I have with my condo... hard to get aroundit, and I can't put an antenna outside, which is the best solution.

No; I have used High Tech pet fence both buried and at the surface of my yard. Works both ways :) Just be sure to secure the wire if you do not bury it. Lawn mowers and kids are good at picking up the wire if it is not buried.

Look at 'PetSafe Deluxe Ultralight Dog Fence Collar - PUL-275'. I just purchased two for our 10 lb dogs. Hopefully, it will work with the wireless fence system. :)

I am using one of my FI8910W outdoors under a covered back porch. No problems, it works well.

I installed one of these in my lock which was not purchased as a z-wave enabled lock. It has the matching(metal) cover - i have had no range problems. My z-wave controller and door are within 20 ft of each other - which may play a part.

I don't see why it wouldn't. Theres a chance the cord may pull against it as the bot makes its way across the pool if there isn't enough slack. But it should be manageable.

Paul, I was trying to get full wifi out to my backyard which is only about 50' away, but my problem is I have steel siding on my house instead of wood or vinyl .So I positioned the extender at the nearest wall socket to my sliding glass door to to the back yard as to reflect thru the glass and not my siding. This worked, I didn't have all bars showing but I had the wifi ok. Your standard wifi router (N) should get you at least that far without the extender, standard structure house wood of vinyl siding of course

I think it ought to work. However, speaking from other experience I think you could do it simpler. Just use plastic standoffs like I used to use for my electric fence for horses and such. If there was interference from the fence just go higher with pieces of plastic pipe.

If the light is installed at either end of the pool probably. If it is mounted in the middle on the side, I doubt it.
