“hysteresis” huh? This is the word I haven’t heard in a long time.

I wouldn’t advice the setup option #1 because additionally to the elements there’s possibility of other obstructions to the beam, such as people walking by, or birds flying etc. As for option #2 it is possible to lower the sensitivity by increasing the sensor threshold in the settings.

But I’d say option #3 is the winner in this case. Please [this post](https://community.garadget.com/t/gate-installation/692) for wired sensor setup info and firmware.

Thank you for your interest in Garadget!
