webapp car status not correct when door is open

I have set the opengarage sensor to ceiling mode and put it somewhere where it is not obstructed by the opened garage door and attached a magnet sensor to the input and also set the door mode to sensor only.

Issue: while the door is displayed opened in the app the state of the car is not displayed. (its always displayed as no car)

note: the opengarage app correctly displays a car being present even when the door is open (according to the switch input)

I think this issue is because when the door is open, the car status defaults to unknown because normally the door would block the car so it's not able to detect the car status. But I see the issue, which is you are using a magnet sensor to sense door status, in which case the distance sensor can be used to detect the car status. Will add this to the todo list.
