Edit-Also, I cannot shut it off from the inside.
A: The way these boxes work is keeping the freezing air away from the pipe.
It will not work if you can't seal the box weather tight to the house, or if your house is insulated too well. The enclosure must capture some warmth that is escapting through the house siding. It's way to cold in my part of Michigan.

It's a useless gadget. Just shut off you water line to the spigot and then open the spigot outside.
No if you have and you shoud have an inside shut off valve . turn it off then turn the out side one back on
It can help keep it from freezing. You can buy the styrofoam covers, or some people wrap their spigots with rags or newspaper and then cover with an empty tin can.
"Remove hoses from exterior faucets, turn off water and cover exposed spigots."
Invest in freeze free spigots. Unlike regular spigots,when you turn it off,It automatically drains the excess water from the spigot,so there is no water in it to freeze. Just wrap the line in foam insullation.
