i have a wyze sense on my garage door. i have great success with it telling me that the garage door opens but i have the worse time having it tell me when it closes, and because it doesn’t sense that its closed, i always get the left open message. i assume thet maybe the distance of my sense to the …

I sometimes have this problem with a sensor from another company. In my case, I think the metal door is blocking the signal when it’s closed, but not blocking it when it is open.

How far is the distance from your sensor to your bridge

its actually on the other side of the house. don’t know distance, maybe 100ft. but that’s a guess. i’m thinking it could be a combination of the weak signal and the metal door.

My guess is your signal is kinda weak, Distance, Obstructions , Metal

yup kinda what i thought but i wanted to ask before i try and move that base closer

Mine is about 60 ft away and through metal door, I end up getting a decent signal

how do you have it mounted on the door? (picture?)

its very simple mounting using gaffer’s tape. mounted vertically. i’ll take a pic and post it later when i get home.

Attached is the picture when the garage door is closed, and picture when garage door is open [image] [image]

I also decided to mount the sensor on top of the door to eliminate the “surrounded by metal” effect of being behind the rails.
