I just installed and discovered two ratgdos on Chamberlin Security 2.0+ doors.  I can control both doors and lights.  However, I was very surprised that I didn't have to learn the ratgdo as a controller in the rolling code scheme -- they just worked first try.  How did this happen?

The value of Obstruction is "Clear" for one door and "Unknown" for other door after multiple open/close cycles.  Does this mean I've not got good contact on the black sensor wire?

@Goose66 After some amount time the Garage Door Opener Door State and Lockout Status are becoming Unknown.  The Light Module Status is doing the same.

Should only happen if the ratgdo devices go offline.

But…

thinking about this, when it comes online it won’t repost its state values (the ratgdo uses retained messages) and there is no periodic query of state, so if it does go offline and the states are set to unknown, they will remain unknown until they change (assuming the ratgdo is back online when the change occurs).

Should only happen if the ratgdo devices go offline.

Thanks. Do you think they’re going offline as in WiFi dropped or power lost? Suggestion on how can I monitor?

I opened and closed both doors. Doors listed as Closed and Lights On then Off. Less than 20 minutes later, all status are Unknown.

@Goose66 It was my garage based access point rebooting.

That makes sense. I’ll have to think about how we should be handling that, but I will log a change for the next version.
