I’m looking for a door opener sensor for outside. I want to use it for my swing gate so that it can activate the lights on my driveway when the gate is opened.  
I can use a door sensor but from the descriptions I find online I’m not sure if those are OK to use outside.  
Preferably one that works with zigbee as my WiFi network is somewhat spotty at the gate.  
Can somebody please recommend a good sensor for outside. Tahnks.
