I have a gate on the side of my house and I want to be able to have my Elk aware of when it is open/closed so that I can have text spoken and flash lights if its open too long.
As the gate is on the far side of the garage, there is no crawlspace easy run to get near the gate. I'd have to run the wire 20+ feet outside from the nearest crawlspace vent to the gate and then there is risk my dog would chew the wire. There is also a decent gap between gate and post so I'm guessing I'd need something like the sensors I have for garage doors and I'm not sure how weatherproof those are.
I haven't seen any wireless sensors that are weatherproof either.
Any suggestions?
