Have connected vl53l0x ToF distance measuring sensor to ESP8266. Using ESPHome Add-on on HA was able to configure it and all was working fine on development board.
Now connected in real environment the sensor is app. 2 meters away (cable) from NodeMCU. When starting the sensor is detected with no problem:

Unfortunately there is no reading at all in logs and sensor in HA shows Unknown.
When I change the logging level in ESPHome YAML file to this NodeMCU to “VERY_VERBOSE” the reading is working and all seems to be fine ?
What is not correct that logging level is influencing the way this sensor is working ?
What should I change or check to correct this error ?
