When i open then the ESPEasy config, open the edit dialog for each device, submit it without any change, everything is running well again. Sounds like a race condition: A spike by the Relay triggers the RCWL-0516. With that action you breack the race. independent of the radar sensor signal. Your ve...

Nice recap of the project. Would you mind sharing hardware included? Sure, this is what I have on a 2017 file (sorry, a little English/Dutch mixture). My first ESP project. Running ESPEasy_v2.0.0-dev11 modified for 24 tasks. Built 4 of these units, #2 for my house, #2 for my brothers house. Multi_c...

Just tested on a breadboard: Replacing the resistor on the left bottom marked 221 (220 Ohm, 0805 SMD) by a 470 Ohm, it does reduce the detection range to around 1 meter. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1JlLqe4WYBuNjy1zkq6xGGpXap.jpg With the 470 Ohm you reduce the antenna gain.

a way to reduce the raw number of minutes I just divide %value%/60 and send it to Domoticz. To a virtual sensor Type: Custom Sensor, Axis label: hr. This already gives a good indication for (in-)stability. Like this: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/35063211/46788241-0033eb80-cd3a-11e8-834...

Yep, Task 1 up to 4 do have fast response on interrupts.

Remember ... pulse counters must be Task 1,2,3 or 4. There are different types of LJ12A3 's: - most of them are at least 6V (see here: https://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3003 ) - but this is a 5V version: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-M12-4mm-sensing-DC-5V-inductive-p...

My suggestion: enlarge the solution space.
- Think of presence detection in front of the tap
- Think of flow detection in the sink
The pump will run a few times to many, but no big deal in my opinion.

The LED could be replaced by a 1KOhm resistor to limit the in-going current ...but ..
The LED has also a voltage threshold function.
So ... why changing a proven design ?
