So, the skimmer sensor doesnt work about 90% of the time. Seems the only way to make it work is to remove the magnetic eye piece that goes inside the skimmer cup. Anyone experience this issue. If i remove that piece and just drop the actual sensor in water it works. With that piece on in water, it doesn't.

I thought the sensor was on the outside for the skimmer.
half of it is, the other half holds it to the cup on the inside

I have the opposite issue. Seems to be really sensitive. The foam will trigger it then after draining the cup I have to wipe the moisture off it to show “dry”
That's crazy. Here is a pic of mine showing it completely submerged with the skimmer still running. Just doesnt make any sense to me why its doing this.

That is strange for sure. I’m sure @Carlos will chime in

What is the app showing? Is the app showing the sensor as WET/DRY/UNKNOWN?
Im getting a replacement sent out. It always shows dry

Did you try moving the sensor around? The problem with the skimmer sensor is that if it is not lined up correctly with the inside prism, the sensor might not send the correct signal to the controller. Sometimes, realigning the sensor with the prism does the trick.
