Can the switches be used for outdoors?

I have 2 on my deck to work outside lights. My husband built a small wooden box with a lid and I plugged them into extension outlet and they work great.

I don't think so. It doesn't look durable enough to withstand the outdoor environment.

I use them outside in New York State, though I bring them in for the winter. Unless you have an extremely strict homeowner's association, then yes, they can be used outdoors

I don't know. I used them in our RV and they work incredibly well for that. All our switches are on off.

This switch would be perfect for that application. Note, however, that the switch isn't rated for outdoor use, so you would have to protect the control module from getting wet. We do have an outdoor version of the switch, the HC6100, that is available from our website. Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help with.

Yes, it can be turned on with a switch. We just put one up in our outdoor kitchen.

I dont use for outdoor, but I dont see why not if you keep the motor from getting wet.

I use mine inside for decorative lights in a bay window. As far as outside use I would say no.

It is designed to be weather resistant. The switches are covered by a plastic membrane and it has robust ground fault protection. As a precaution we cover it when not in use with a contractor's trash bag secure at the bottom with a bungee cord.

Yes, but you may have to bend some of the house electrical wires in the box to move them out of the way. The back side of this thing takes up more space than a regular toggle switch. Bending the wires out of the way did the trick for me. Just make sure the power is off to both switches when messing with the wires and it should be no problem.

Yes, the switch is a radio link and not infrared (line of sight), so putting it outside the closet door is fine.

Yes they are really simple to switch and use, it would be best to put them up high out of reach so they can't turn them off/on. :)

They are not intended to be used outdoors. They are not sealed in anyway. I've used them in my shed and on the porch with no issues. I have used them outside by putting them in plastic bags. This winter, I'll probably encase them in old Tupperware style containers sealing the input & output cord openings with RTV.

Yes. That is why I purchased a few of these switches. Keep in mind that there must be a neutral wire available in the switch box to connect to this switch.

Yes you can and they work great. I use them for my outside house lights to come on and off at a set time.

Hi I don't know I did not use them outside. I used them indoors (closets). I think you might not want to chance outdoors because these run on batteries. Hope this information helps

dont think so; if anything (incl. rain) touches the metal, it will switch on and off, and its not sealed for outside use
