Mounting a Russound Unos2 Keypad outside

[mbreeden]

Does anybody know of a double gang weatherproof enclosure that you can install a Russound CAV Unos2 keypad. It would be nice if Russound made a outdoor keypad!!! This would be mounted on Vinyl siding.

Thanks in advance

You may also want to consider using a slave A-bus keypad off the same zone. I have just such a setup. I've got the same zone covering a sun room and an adjacent deck. The deck is setup as a slave through an A-bus keypad. This lets it control it's own volume level. It does mean both the deck and the sun room will always have the same source, but they can have different volume levels (or be off). It's worked reasonably well for 2 years now.

Did you set it up as a slave so that, in case you did have issues with water/heat, you would only have lost a less expensive Abus keypad?

I will need to do the same type of setup in my new place, and would like to have both a Uno and Compont keypad outside. For the compoint pad, I thought about using another door station, but it would not integrate with the speakers. I think I will probably just put both keypads into a 3 gang weathproof enclosure.

A little off topic but the Nuvo Grand Concerto keypads are outdoor rated.
