Yeah any wireless technology and large amounts of metal is not a good combination and magnets will only make it more interesting. The 1/4" wood or plastic buffer would of been my plan of attack as well. I can think of a few possibilities, but ALL are long shots. Your Ecolink door sensor should have contacts for wiring. If this is the case here are some options [image] Order an external magnetic sensor and wire it up to the contacts, give yourself at least 1ft from the magnets and the sensor. Use some left over wire and wire up the gate so that when the gate is closed the circuit is complete. i.e. the 2 wires touch either directly or through the metal latch. Order an external pressure sensor and wire it up to the contacts. Place the pressure sensor in a place so that when the gate is clos…
