I have a RM HD-12 mounted outdoors inside a weatherproof box.  I live in the northeastern U.S., where on occasion the nighttime low temperature in winter can be as low as -10 degrees F.

Is it safe (for the RM!) to leave the controller outdoors over the winter without risking physical or electronic damage to the unit?

  Hi, Ed
  We designed our RainMachine devices to be used indoors and we strongly recommend that.
  Your winter conditions will eventually damage the RainMachine device. Please remove it from the case during the winter and place it somewhere safe. The RainMachine will not lose any information or settings you may have until the spring will come and you'll plug it on again.

  So the answer is yes, the RainMachine will stop working when kept in such a harsh weather conditions.
  Hope this helps, Ed.

  Thank you.
