Motion sensor becoming non responsive #429

Hi, I'm using your motion sensor code and it works perfectly. However, I noticed that the board needs resetting every two days or it will go into a No Responsive state?!!!

@AR-Tawil without information it is difficult to say where things are going wrong?

maximkulkin commented 2 years ago

Right, it would be nice to include some more information next time:

which board is this
which SDK and version did you use
was the accessory pingable while being unresponsive
what was the output of dns-sd -B _hap._tcp local (natively on Mac or through Bonjour SDK downloadable from developer.apple.com/opensource/ on Windows)
accessory logs if available

If you are using a HC-SR501, it can interfere with the esp8266 Wi-Fi. To help with that you can shield the motion sensor from the esp8266, just ensure the shielding doesn't block the Wi-Fi signal.
