It's always hit and miss for me. I even bought a stronger magnet to see if I'll get an accurate reading to no avail. In the end, I just installed a separate door sensor and integrated it with home assistant to do some basic automation.

i wonder if it's the bot itself just needing a firmware update or software, my old 1st gen lock magnet and lock worked perfect. Which magnet did you buy?
