Entry sensor with two positions.
I currently have my entry sensor installed on my window with the large part on the frame and the small part (magnet) on the sliding window. Would I still be able to set up another magnet to allow for window to stay open a bit and still armed? Or do I need to switch places for the two parts?

You can certainly do that with a second magnet. You just want the two magnets (and thus the two positions) to be more than 3 inches apart - to make sure that there's a gap in between that would be detected as "open".

The magnets should be on parts that don't move, ie the frame. The sensor / large piece should be on the part that moves, ie the window so that the window can engage magnets in different positions.

I have the same question. But I don't think it's possible without moving both parts of the entry sensor.
My use case is with my sliding door. At night I want to leave it open so only the screen door is closed, glass door open (to allow for air flow).
I think I'd need to move it from my sliding glass door to the screen door -- both pieces. Certainly not fool proof as someone could just cut the screen door, so perhaps not the best idea regardless.

I have two positions on my sliding glass door and one of the magnets flashes blue while the other does not. How do I correct this?
