ERA 100 speakers outside

We just finished a screened-in porch. Is it safe to mount a pair of ERA 100s near the ceiling of the porch? They will never get wet from rain, but they are exposed to temperature and humidity changes? Will they last out there?

They are humidity resistant so they should be ok under a screened-in porch. I would consider bringing them inside during extreme temperatures though.

Good to know. I wonder what qualifies a storage versus use. I don't think we're going to be on the deck below 32° or above 104°. Do I need to unplug them? Do I need to cover them? Or just let them sit there?

Maybe ask Sonos directly..getting opinions here.

“Storage” is when the units are not “operating”, i.e. not powered.

Cool. Thank you for your help. It doesn't go below freezing much here but if it does I'll unplug them.
