  Hi @itsjustme. We don't recommend placing your Contact Sensor in an area with excessive humidity, as it could impact the device's functionality. Although, it's a great suggestion, and we'll pass it on to the team.

  We also have this as an issue. The bathroom window, located in the shower, is the most vulnerable entry location for our house. It would be great to a moisture-resistant sensor

  Try my solution. Cheap, easy and you have fresh breath. [DIY Ring Contact Sensor Housing](https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/DIY-Ring-Contact-Sensor-Housing/td-p/72879) The large z-wave sensor fits nearly perfectly in a tic tac box!. Nice and cheap water proof, clear container. Once you remove the lable it looks pretty good also. The small part of the sensor is just a magnet so it should not need a housing. Just for giggles I popped small sensor housing and ran a very small amount of caulk on the magnet to prevent rusting. It should be fine exposed to the elements.

  Sounds like ring should make a case out of the tictac box and charge $20 for it. Thanks for the advice will be buying a box of tictacs next time I'm at the store.

  Have there been any developments on this? I want to add a sensor to my bathroom window as well, and whist I admire the ingenuity of the Tictac box I'd like a solution that's supported by Ring.

  The [Outdoor Contact Sensor](https://ring.com/products/alarm-outdoor-contact-sensor) is a great solution for mounting in unique environments, that might be exposed to elements. The Outdoor Contact Sensor has a weather resistant IP66 rating, and can operate from temperatures -4°F to 120°F (-20°C to 49°C). I hope this helps! :)
