Fibaro FGK101 door/window sensor shows open after restart domoticz server

Hi All,

I'm still new to the Domoticz stuff, but I'm facing a problem I can't seem to fix.
I have two door sensors (FGK101) and attache them on both the front and garden door. They seem to work ok, both sensors see when a door opens and closes. The one on the front door shows a blue led wheneven the state changes, the garden door does report being opened and closed, but doesn't have a blue led visualising this.
Because they work , and report opening and closing , it's not really concerning me, however I find it strange.

What does concern me, is that after I restart the domoticz server (e.g. service domoticz restart) the first time the door sensors are reporting, they report open, and stay open until I open en close the doors. I have the sensors on a wake-up interval of 3600 secs. And it seems that when they wakeup and report, this phenomenon happens.

I have been looking in the parameters, but I cannot find anything that can cause this behaviour.

Does anybody have a clue why this is happening , and care to share it with me?

Regards,
Jerry

Hi my best guess is that parameter number 3 (Type of input no. 1) is set to Normal Open (NO). The Led status can be set with parameter number 2. Be aware, Fibaro's parameters can only be modified while they're at inclusion mode (that is three times pushing the inclusion button) and you only have a good 20 seconds to update the device. So I recommend doing this while you're next to the devices and with a smartphone or tablet.

Thank you LouiS22 for your reply, and sorry for my late one.
I have the settings as you suggested they should be.

I agree that they should be like this, but the behaviour is not like that..
