This time of year the sun tends to cause interference with my garage door blockage sensors.
I’ve been manually closing my garage as a result, but finally took the time to “fix” it
PVC threaded female end to slip on. Didn’t glue it, but it’s jammed on tight enough. Sensor still works fine when an actual object is in the path.
Indirectly.
Home Assistant is taking a weighted average of 4 sensors (this one at only 20% of the total) and using that to play tricks on the heat pump. So it caused only around a 1.2°C difference in the value that matters.
Of course it’s a nice spring day today and I have all the doors and windows open, so that heat pump is on fan-only mode anyway.
Neat! Glad it only skewed the data horrendously and didn’t impact the overall system much.
As a home assistant user, I’d love to hear about these “tricks”
