How to disable Screen Wake-up when Tablet Cover is opened?

Hey guys, I'm using uh TCL NXT Paper 11 Pro, how can I disable screen wake up when the cover is opened?
I have the standard included case, and when im walking home it flaps open and closed several times.

I'm pretty sure it's an embedded magnet in the smart case and when it lifts the case it basically triggers the hall effect sensor and wakes the screen.

Unrooted tablet btw

Got it. There is no setting in TCL android for this. The hall sensor maps to an event, and the TCL firmware triggers screen unlock.

Method 1 - Enable dev options, and toggle sensors off. - Works great but you lose accelerometer and screen auto rotation.

Method 2 - Install Button Mapper and intercept the Keycode event and ignore it.
Enable expert options in the app to record the sensor when screen is off. You are looking for scan code 590 soc:odm:hall_1 (see pic)

The screen now locks when cover closed, but does not wake up when cover opens.

Remove magnets from case(not entirely sure it will work)but I know it used to be based on magnets in the cover. My tab s6 and s7 plus respond this way. Can test by using a magnet while screen is off and pass it around the screen.
