I agree @tom_l .
It’s ok though, I have removed the reed switch.
Installed an Aqara door sensor to tell me when the door is 100% closed or not, instead of telling me when the door is 100% open or not . That particular change is important for my future plans for this sensor.
I updated the cover from @anon63427907, with new Aqara sensor, and now the status update is near instantaeous.
Thank you both for your help.
