I was thinking of installing mine on my garage roof. The one thing that concerns me is the garage has electric doors, and when they operate there is a vibration throughout the garage. Will that interfere with the haptic rain gauge?
It’s hard to know for sure because the frequency of the vibrations is important. As far as my experience goes, not all frequencies cause false rain readings. The safest option would be to select somewhere else, but if you are happy to give it a try you might find that it is OK.
One of the improvements between the old sky modules and the new Tempest Sky modules is better isolation of the haptic rain sensor from mounting vibrations:
