Yeah it was indeed a hardware failure at work here. The wire broke and i could get it to work wen holding it right, but wasnt able to fix it yet.
A bit surprised so, because I handled it well, but maybe its just because of the single core wire.

yeah.. it was very convenient to use them, but sadly time has shown that when i cut the shielding i corrupt a bit the outside wall of the copper wire
and at some point of time it breaks
then i started to use multi core wires, but in this design it is much harder to solder them.
if you can solder it - then it would be great - if not then send it back to me, i will fix it and return it.. i will cover the expenses

you need to do a factory reset after fixing this (from Settings) or again remove the"missing" value. While it is missing the firmware isn't trying to search for the sensor.
As for the 1101 and 1102, this is also what i had asked the manufacturer once i got them, but they confirmed that the sensors are the dual-beam type - 1102, just that the PCBs that they use are exactly the same and this is why the naming

I did several factory resets, but the missing value is still set, which I can see with debug on. Whats the command for removing the "missing" value? Tried to send "" instead of "present" but i wasnt working out.
Ah ok, that explains the weird number on the PCB.
