Hey guys - I'm in the process of setting up an Elk m1 at my folks place. I've opted for wireless sensors in a few places that are pretty difficult to get wires to but am struggling to figure out where to place a door sensor to their garage. There are a couple issues that I'm dealing with here, the frame of the door is steel and the walls around it are concrete block. Wiring to this place would be pretty difficult, so I elected to go with a wireless sensor. Unfortunately, the door frame sticks out .5in over the door itself, so the elk wireless sensor doesn't even see the door as closed because it's so deep. Do I shim the door sensor and raise it up? Do I select a different type of door sensor? I'm really not sure where to go with this.
