Yup; I picked up one too and it seems to be working OK at home. There was
a bit of a conflict between getting the sensor < 60cm from the computer
and also getting it <= 4mm from the magnet, but I found a position that
works, albeit at the limit of both ranges!

Note the advice in the manual not to align the magnet with the center of
the sensor, but to either side. Doing that I can get up to 1cm clearance
between the magnet and the sensor.

The sensor contains a reed switch, you can hear the switch closing and
opening (in quiet surroundings). This allows finding a reliable position
without having to look at the computer.
