Perhaps it would be more productive to fix or improve the gate closing
mechanism, thus eliminating the need for a weather proof switch and
associated electronics? There is a wide variety of gate closing
mechanisms available, usually based on a linear or rotary spring
mechanism. Many can be retrofitted to an existing gate:

Then, there's the cannonball gate closer:

Actually I want to know that it was opened. Got a Mexican claiming he
worked when he didn't :-(

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
