Hi,

Did you manage to get your sensor working ? I'm having the same issues :-/

Your link didn't return a valid page from the site. Also your A20yyuw reference didn't bring up any hits on Google, so I can't advice you on that specific sensor. If it acts similar to the HC-SR04 may be your problem.

The HC-SR04 is a 5V sensor and has problems trying to work from the 3.3V logic that an ESP8266 uses.
The HC-SR04P is a 3.3V sensor and works flawlessly with the ESP8266.

I have seen a hack to modify a regular HC-SR04 to work with the 3.3V properly, but you'll need to do a Google search to find it.

Hope this helps.

FYI. It's a 2.5 year old post and I'm pretty sure OP will ever see your reply since we don't have email notifications on this forum.
