Screek 1U mmWave sensor overheats and then drops from wifi

My Screek sensors (I have three) all like to spike to ~150ºF and then they disappear from the wifi. Sometimes they come back on their own, often they do not and I have to unplug them and wait a few minutes for them to cool down. They’re out in the open in a well ventilated house.

Firmware: 2023.5.1 (Jun 18 2023, 14:06:43)

Note the spike, and then the gap in data.

Which case do you have? Looks like the original is a hotbox (no ventilation holes).

Probably the original. What does the newer one look like?

Just has a few holes in it. I would pop the lid off and put a few holes in the top (at least) to let the heat out and see if that makes a difference.

Firmware was the core issue. Venting will help these current spikes stay down, but I haven’t experienced any crashes since the updates. Here’s how they look now:

I may print the new enclosures with vents, or just power drill some holes.
