If both open and closed sensors are unsatisfied after a certain period of
time (e.g. 5mins) then presume door stuck in half-open position.
You could include the beam sensor but it wouldn't be foolproof. The door
could still stop mid position without being obstructed (mechanical
failure), or be obstructed but not trigger the beam.
IP camera (or PI camera?) could allow confirmation of the problem if
position switches indicate a "fault".
HTH,
Tim.
