Hi everyone,
I’m new to EspHome, and my first project shows a weird behaviour. I hope someone could help me, because I have no idea about where is the problem.
I have an ESP32-CAM controlling a motor through a H-Bridge (DRV 8871). It also has two limit switches on each top. I’m using an ESP32 CAM because I would like to add a camera in the future.
On ESPHome, I set up two binay sensors, one for each limit switch. I also set up two switches, one for each conection of the H-Bridge. This configuration is really simple, so I can’t realise where is the problem.
Normal behaviour:
When the door is at the lower endstop (door closed) position, I can open the door without any problems until the upper endstop.
When it is at the upper enstop (door open) position, I can close the door without any problems until the lower endstop.
Problem:
When the door is at the middle of the stroke, when I turn on any of the switches, the door goes on the direction I selected, but after a few seconds, it stops, reverses direction and after that, the ESP reboots itself.
I read the YAML time after time, and I couldn’t find anything out of normal.
Here is the YAML:

If someone wants to see the problem, here is a link:
I’m not a youtuber, I published the video there because I couldn’t attach the file (>10 MB)
Sorry if I do something against the rules, I opened a thread on Github but they told me to publish it here.
Thanks you for your time reading this!
And yes, this is another Smart Chicken Door project
