JotaMag Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hi! A simple question....may I use Shelly Blu Motion on outdoor exposed to rain and sun? did not find any information about that but maximum temperature range of 40ºC seems a bit short for Portugal or Spain.

Heinz Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 What's your end goal with the Blu motion? As yes the temp range for the Blu motion is between -20 and 40 degrees Celsius. The device is not rated for outside exposure to the full-blown world elements. If you want to monitor the temp then the Blu H&T would be your best bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I will have a look on that Blu H&T and on his Beacon mode because my goal is to have a motion or presence detector outside my house main door, in order to turn on a light controlled by a Shelly 1 Mini Gen3.

Heinz Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The Blu H&T is only for Temp and Humidity. If you want to have it as a motion detector then the blu motion is the best bet. If you want to use it outside there is a risk as its not suitable for outside use. it would need to be well protected if it is outside.

JotaMag Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 (edited) I thought that, as said on his website, Beacon mode could be used for presence detection...anyway, Shelly products lack a motion sensor that can be used outdoors Edited May 6 by JotaMag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly Sebastian U. Posted May 7 Shelly Share Posted May 7 This presence detection does not refer to movement, as with a motion detector. This is about the detection via an optional script whether the Shelly Blu H&T is in the living room or the kitchen, for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
