This Sonoff device has been left in place and working fine now for over a month or two. I updated mcsMQTT to version Version 3.4.11.0 last week.
This morning updated computer (Ubuntu updates) and rebooted the server restarting HS3. Noticed a couple of issues which I cannot figure out.
I have attached open and closed garage door sensors and mosquitto status has alway been open, closed and intermediate.
This morning I see open, closed, intermediate and open&closed variable payloads which triggers the open garage door event ever 2 minutes or so.
Never have seen an open&closed payload before. This is causing the garage door open event to trigger.
Partially opened garage door and it shows correct status of INTERMEDIATE.
Opening the garage door never shows OPEN and stays at INTERMEDIATE
Closing garage door never shows CLOSED and shows OPEN&CLOSED.
Looks almost as if the Sonoff Wifi basic firmware is scrambled some. I powered on and off device and rebooted it and see nothing in the console.
Note here I have not touched the SonOff WiFi basic and have left it in place connected to the two reed sensors.
Looked at the SonOff wifi console and see nothing there which is odd. Nothing=> no verbiage.
Could my SonOff Wifi Module be an issue now? Temperatures here have dropped to freezing.
I have restarted it a couple of times now and the up time status never changes.
Removed it this morning, disconnecting the sensors and will put it on the workbench to see what is going on.
Wierd cuz it's been fine now for a long time.
Figured it out on the workbench.
1 - tested shorting out one GPIO and ground - seeing console show closed
2 - tested shorting out another GPIO and ground - seeing console show open
3 - tested not connecting any GPIO to ground - shows intermediate
4 - tested showing both GPIO pins to ground - shows open&closed and no console verbiage.
Next checking the reed sensors with a VOM.
Both of the reed sensors on the garage door appear fine. Wondering if one of them got stuck in the closed position making both of them closed and that messaging open&closed and shutting off the console?
Disconnected the current glued on DS18B20 sensor replacing it with another DS18B20 sensor and glued another 3 terminal gizmo on the case.
Synopsis of issue and not related to firmware or current version of plugin.
- both reed switches had remained in the closed position creating a new message "open&closed"
- this in turn disabled console messages (IE: both GPIO pins to ground).
