That shouldn’t be a issue, my sensors aren’t flush together. During setup they have you test the connection and they need to be within a couple inches of each other.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The magnet can be placed anywhere around the base of the sensor. It just has to get close when it’s closed and separate when it opens. Works great
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it can connect to the sensor at an angle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, they have to be parallel to each other and you need to align the magnet with the bottom of Nest Detect, not the top. The Nest app will help you practice the maximum distance you can have between Nest Detect and the magnet before mounting — Nest Detect will glow green if it is placed close enough to the magnet.
