Is this device for interior-use only or can it be used outdoors on a garden gate?

I don't think the device is designed for outdoor use unless perhaps you have a housing to protect it from sun and rain. Still, I do not know if it can stand hot weather or humidity.

This unit is intended to be used indoors. If you want to use it for an outdoor system it has to be in some type of waterproof container. Otherwise it's a great timer.

I have only used it outdoors, but if you have a big enough space, you could absolutely use it indoors.

I am going to assume that it is for indoor only because it doesn't say. Usually, in my experience, it would say for outdoor if it could be used outdoors.

The plate and magnet should touch when door / gate is closed. Should work on a fence gate with some creative mounting.I would only recommend using this indoors or at least under roof - out of the direct rain.Barney

No, I wouldn't use this outdoors. I would buy a grounded timer specifically rated for outdoor use.

I dont recomend to use outdoor. It is an eletronic lock and it isnt waterproof.

The plug is UL listed for indoor use only. Not to say it wouldn't work outside, but it is sold for indoor use. :)

Yes it can be used for indoors but for best results mount it outside and run the cable inside

Could be used outside in sheltered position but recommend treatment to protect hinges/ areas susceptible to corrosion. We mounted ours inside in shared hallways, which avoids any "unwanted" attention. Good luck.

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

I don't think that would be a good idea. The system is pretty much built for interior use, which I say for a few reasons. The main thing would be the power cord, which is delicate and has delicate connections that tie into the actual plug that goes into a power outlet. This cord and its connections are pretty far from being hefty enough for exterior use. The box itself--where the electric current is generated, might be okay if it was protected from weather, but again just doesn't seem made for exterior use.

I would not recommend it for outside use, its for indoor items that you constantly have to plugin and unplug, like cell phones, coffee makers, things like that. Outside have ground fault, if it gets wet if trips the fault. This item is not made for being exposed to the elements as far as I can see.

If you are referring to using the device on the outside portion of the door (exposed to the elements), I can say yes, of course, but will be limited to the strength of your Wifi signal and of course the unit will be exposed to weather and it was not meant to be used that way I believe. It also lends itself to being bypassed as it is exposed.

Any electrical device without a ground can be used with this item. It is not designed for outdoor use, however, and any moisture would probably damage it.

With instruction manual in hand, it states can be intended for indoor or outside use. It also states to install with weatherproof fittings if mounted outsided. Hope this helps.
