Force a check status of a Xiaomi Door/Window Sensor

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
My Garage Door Sensor (sometimes) fails to report it’s current status, usually when goes to the close state.

2) What is the expected behaviour?
It should always report :slight_smile:

3) What is happening/not happening?
In this case, nothing happens in the app. So it’s like is still open.
But after, if I open the gate, the app shows it was just oppened. So, in the log, it shows to Open, with no close in between!!
So this let’s me believe that the sensor knows it’s closed. It just didn’t report that to the app.

My question is: How can I check the current status using Webcore?
I can’t find anything that let’s me do this. A refresh, or something like that…

Slightly off topic, but when I see this, I usually suspect distance and/or mesh network… How far away is the Garage Door Sensor from your hub? (and how many walls does that signal pass thru?)

I agree with Wcmore
But just to test I would write a simple piston to see IF it’s not registering in the App or it’s just not showing in the App.

IF garage door sensor changes to CLOSED
send SMS "the door is closed"

Hello.
@WCMore - The Hub is in the Living Room, and we have to pass the kitchen and another small room, to get to the garage. Around 10 to 15 meters and 3 walls.

@ike2018 - I have that :slight_smile: The problem is when it fails, I don’t know if the door is open or if it was just a failure in communication.
