Hello all.
Have two garage doors that utilize an appliance module hooked directly to the motor, and sensors on the doors. Was a legacy setup from my Vera days, where a user had created a PO that worked perfectly. Alas, when I moved to HS3, there was no such plugin (to my surprise). jumper4000 had created his own event/script routine, and was nice enough to walk me through setting it up, although admittedly I really didn't understand what it was doing :-)
Fast forward 3 years, and it has been working flawlessly until about a month ago. Now, not always but often, if you open/close the door from the wall switch or the car, it will only go up/down for a few seconds, then stop. Totally has a mind of it's own. I've at least deduced that it something to do with my HS3 setup, because the exact same thing happens with both my doors.
Sadly, i'm still not entire sure how/why this works, and it does seem a bit complicated. I've only done two things that (I think) could have any bearing on this starting to fail. First, I got it working with Alexa, although I think that worked flawlessly for months. The more recent change was a move to a beta of HS3 v460 - I wonder if something changed there. Attached is the device view (virtual device, motion sensor and appliance module), the 3 key events to make it work, and a log I ran when I just tried to open the large garage door from the wall button. stopped a 3rd of the way up after about 3 seconds.
Would LOVE any help before my wife shoots me. she's about at wits end on this :-)
