Greetings,
I have to confess I'm pretty new to Insteon so I have much to learn which is why I'm here.
I installed the IOLinc for my garage door over the weekend and am disturbed by the fact that it only supports one sensor. Currently my app (and my OpenHab setup) can only confirm when the garage door is closed, but it assumes that once the door moves 1.5 inches from the contact that the door is open. If I could be certain that the door fully opens when triggered that would be OK, but for the last 2 mornings when the door opens it opens about 18 inches and then stops, I have to trigger it again which causes it to close and then open again. I'm also using Alexa with this for voice commands.
I'd really like to have positive report that the door opens fully, so I'd like to use a hidden door sensor which the door will hit when fully open.
Has anyone tried this? Further has anyone tried this with OpenHab and Alexa? I'd like to setup an OpenHab rule that will watch the sensors and if I call for an open it will retry if within a specified period of time the sensor doesn't trigger. Same on close.
I look forward for your responses.
Thanks
-Bob
