It has different sensitivity levels. I think some playing is going to be required to see how well it works. It's a given that it will trip when it rains, but other scenarios I think I will likely need to work on are:
  • sensitivity (dew)
  • how long it takes to realise it's not raining any more (might need a heater to dry off the rain?)

There would come a point where an AAG Solo would be a better option ... depending on how smart you end up wanting to make it
