I know it’s not an outdoor device, I know it’s not weatherproof. I have one out in a pavilion, currently completely enclosed, but potential for temperatures to get pretty warm in the California summer.

Does anyone have first-hand experience pushing the envelope on what kind of heat these can withstand for a few years?

I was not able to find a temperature specification on their website. A typical high limit spec for that sort of device would be in the range of 104°F. Depending on the optics, you could install a small fan. The temperature spec assumes still air.

According to the Eero site, the units will report temperature extremes. I do not know how they measure temperature. Likely, they will measure the temperature of an internal element, not the ambient temperature. If this is the case, air circulation will help keep the electronics within spec, even if the ambient is high.

I'd be concerned based solely on the fact that the Eero Pros tend to run really hot in ideal conditions.

Thats good to know! Thx

Electronic devices usually state normal operating temperatures in their documents.

I just searched their site and asked about temperature- this link shows their automated response-

It's pretty surprising to see such an analog answer. By that I mean they do not state an actual temperature -- they just talk about warm, and all units about the same temperature, and if very different from one another call us.

I've never seen a technical product without technical specs. That makes these guys sound like amateurs.

I can hear it now:
"What's the difference in temperature between the two units?"
"Oh, it's a bit more than I expected."
"Oh, that should probably be okay, then."
Sheesh.

First, they're closed. Second, I didn't spend much time looking, but I can check the spec sheet when I go to my garage.

"If coming into contact with your EERO causes immediate combustion of skin or clothing, stop touching it, stop, drop & roll and seek medical attention". I should write this stuff for them.

Sat through a webinar where someone asked about placing in a sealed NEMA enclosure. The response was, won’t be a problem- the pro is a sealed unit with no ventilation (even passive) built in.

I wasn't going to reply to this thread because i've answered this same question twice in the last few months on IP site.

Ive done it many times in an enclosure for at least 3 years now with no issues.
Thanks for backing me up.

NP! I would add that on one project that was in a hi-density area performed terribly and got hot AF. However, 99.99% of the time, they work so damn well.

I looked on/on some EERO boxes and saw nothing about temperature limits. I think it should be obvious that putting it in a sealed box in direct sunlight is something to avoid, but if it's in shade and the enclosure has some amount of ventilation, it could work even in places where the ambient temperature is over 100°F.
