We are new to ring and installed door sensors on a metal building. These sensors do not work unless doors open and states they are open all the time on app even when door is closed. Is there a way to better use these in a metal building when the base is in the house where routor is?
We have also installed the ring doorbell but where we have it there is not shelter just the over hang of the building. In manual it states these are water resistant but not to submerge in water. Will it be fine in the rain even if we have a good down power for hours such as a hurricane or just a bad stormy day?
Hi neighbors. Assuming that you are talking about Contact Sensors, if they are always reading open, the two pieces might be too far apart from each other. The magnet should be within 1" of the sensor. As for the Doorbell, it is weather resistant and can withstand rain. If there is constant, heavy rainfall, it would be in your best interest to place the doorbell under some type of overhang or patio.
