RE: discreet door/window closure sensors?

["Paul Gale" <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah yes - I remember the thread.

Have you identified a suitable mounting position yet? The release distance
is only 11mm and on my top hung windows, there isn't much overlap between
the window and frame. It's finding somewhere to mount them that's the
problem. The surface mount would possibly work better but are ugly and
obtrusive.
