I attached a HM-DW001 Door/window to one of my garage doors and it works OK but the clearance is really tight. I found that the magnet (attached to the door) has to be less than 1 inch from the main unit (attached to the wall). This was pretty tricky to find a spot that worked that didn't bind the door somewhere.
There is barely 1/4" clearance between the door and the main unit when the door opens and I am really concerned that when the temperature changes the door might start to contact it and break it (or the door).
Anyone have a better suggestion?
There is the little green screw jack inside the main unit. Can I put a mercury switch on those and then just attach the main unit to the door. Then the mercury switch will detect when the door is vertical (closed) vs. horizontal (open). The advantage then is that there is no clearance requirement and the unit can be mounted anywhere on the door which will also help get a clear signal to the Ztroller.
I haven't found any docs on the innards of the sensor.
