Update: sent mine in and a sensor issue was found. The unit I got back has been working now without issue for about a week or two.
Thanks for responding Ray. I love this implementation, and hope to use it to its potential.
I’ve been testing more on this thing, and hove found that the modifications I made earlier worked for about a day. It seems to be strictly temperature related. I have now completely removed all of the covering, and I still get the 5-3 cm measurements from the sensors.
Here are some temp measurements:
Temp at ceiling mount point: 31 degrees C
Temp on wifi chip: 35 degrees C
Temp outside: 26 degrees CSo far, I’ve been able to fix the unit by accident. I found that if the case lid was offset, the issue went away. So I wedged some foam in the end closest to the sensor, and the problem hasn’t reoccurred.
I know this is an old post, but it fits my issue as well. My sensor started reading 5 cm overnight. I installed it last night and this morning the sensors are reading 5 cm, and nothing I do fixes the issue. What else can I try? Id like to use the built-in distance sensors instead of external switches, but will run a wire if needed.
More testing.
Removing the clear cover solves the issue. I can set the cover over and align the hold or the sensors, but not seat the cover on its tabs and I have no issues. Seems like this only happens when it’s up to operating temp in the garage.Photo of the raised lid:
