Looking for a bit of help. I have two gates that need to be closed if my dog wants to go out. The problem I have faced is my smaller kids look out and if the gate looks closed they let him out, but it may not be latched. I was looking for some outdoor sensor or ideas to track if a gate is closed and latched, as we live on a very busy road.
One gate is a leaver latch and leads onto the road, one is a bolt type and leads to the driveway. I tried using cameras but the view of the latches are blocked most of the time so its a non runner.
Agree with YoLink. Can transmit very far although hub may need to be in line of sight for applications. I have one on my mailbox door and backyard shed door. You can keep getting alerts if door is left open. Using a water temp sensor for our space. The transmitter failed because of moisture ingress so placed new one in a baggie above insulated cover and under canvas cover. Nice log to see when opened and closed each day. Great customer service as well.
