Probably not an attractive option to use wireless transmitters seeing
how your windows have already been wired, but one method I've seen used
(for those who might see double-hung windows as a real pain) is to
attach the transmitter to the bottom half, and the magnet to the top
half, at that midway point where the two halves are up against each
other.  You might have to use a shallow magnet if you don't have
sufficient clearance between the two halves, so that opening the bottom
window won't bump the magnet or knock it off completely.
