FAQ: Do you know of an outdoor motion sensor?

Thanks for the reply, I really only want an outdoor sensor capable of withstanding weather that will turn eve lights and maybe porch lights on at night when someone walks up.

For the porch light issue, if you’re ok with it not integrating with SmartThings I’ve been really happy with the Kuna light, which combines a motion sensor, wifi camera, two way audio intercom, and porch light all in one. You can put the light on a schedule or have it come on when motion is detected. We’ve had ours since last summer and really like it.

Ring vs Skybell vs Kuna vs?

I’d like to pull the trigger on a purchase for a new Smart Doorbell. It’s a toss up between Ring and Skybell. Does anyone else have a suggestion before I click approve purchase?!
