Detecting partly opened windows

$

I installed a new DSC panel and have my hardwired sensors for my windows going to home seer now. I have events setup to count the amount of windows opened and turn my whole house fan on and set the speed. Been doing this a while (using ardiuno to monitor wired sensors previously) and no issues.

Well now I decided to take it a step further and probably made an impossible situation.

I wanted the main level Windows to still have the ability to be opened, but secured. I put s slide lock on them so they can only open a few inches and added another magnet so the sensor sees the window closed in a "vented" state and keep it secured if someone does decide to mess with it. Well as you can imagine and something I didn't think about, to HS this makes the window look closed and now I ha e an issue with the above mentioned events.

Is there a way to fix this with events (doubting but have to ask) or do I need to add another sensor to the Windows to detect the vented state (not desirable, but will do if only option).
