LOOOOOONG story VERY short, I have an a-hole neighbor that opens our gate to let our dogs out. I put a camera pointing right at the gate, but he hides so all you see is a finger or two or bolt cutters. He already got two of our dogs killed.
The other day I let the puppies out and the gate was open. This time it was my daughter who left it open when she took the trash out. I want a sensor I can put on the gate so I can set it to alert everyone in the house if the gate is open for more than 5min.
I have solid wifi at the gate, but no ability to get any power there. I am fine with swapping batteries as needed. It would need to be weatherproof since it will be outside.
Anyone have any recommendations?
