Minimum temperature
Can the motion sensors be used on an enclosed porch that is for the most part unheated (30ish in winter)? Also how far will the entry sensors reach? we have some that we have determined will not work in the house but may work in the bunkhouse.

Hi @ssfifer ,
The recommended operating environment for most of our sensors, including the Motion Sensor, is between 32°F to 120°F, with 90% max humidity. That Motion Sensor may still continue working beyond that, but the battery may stop working in the extreme cold.
Regarding range: the sensors can reach up to ~800ft over open air. However, environmental factors can decrease that range quite a bit. For example, if you have mesh insulation, brick walls, or metal siding, that could do a lot to impede the signal. Moving the Base Station to different spots where it would have a clearer path for the signal can help.
