Is It Weatherproof or Safe to Use Outdoors?
Standard smart home control panels are designed for indoor use, but there are weatherproof models designed for sheltered or semi-outdoor environments.
Outdoor Suitability:
Standard indoor panels: Not recommended for high humidity or direct sunlight
Weatherproof options: Available with IP65+ rating (dust and water resistance)
Commercial or industrial use: Panels with aluminum housings, UV protection, and waterproof touchscreens
