Weatherproof or weather resistant products

I would like to utilize the Insteon open/close trigger sensor and the Insteon Motion Sensor outdoors.  I wish they were weatherproof or at least weather resistant. 

 

I would use the trigger sensor on a door frame to monitor the door open/close.

 

Any ideas?  Any chance of new products?

The MSs (2842-222 and 2844-222) are advertised as Indoor and outdoor. I have 3 of the original insteon motion sensors (2842-222) outdoors. Ideally put them under an awning or other cover and you should have no problems.

 

The only design problem with them to overcome if you have to put them in the open is water leaking around the lens where it meets the MS housing..and I found a fix for that. I added a small bead of superglue outside where the lens meets the case. That addressed it. One of mine is in its 3rd season of Michigan weather .... lots of hard rain, +100F sometimes, last night it was -3F

 

All 3 of mine are directly in the open
