1. The lock magnet is used for detecting when the door opens and closes.

2. When installing the magnet, please attach it to the door frame with the side containing the white mark or the opposite side facing the lock body as shown in the figure below.

Note: The side with double-sided tape and the opposite side can't be detected.

3. As with our contact sensor, if the magnet is not oriented correctly, the SwitchBot App may not reflect the door open/close status correctly. Also Auto-lock may not function.
