Inductive contact. May be burglar alarm, heater control etc.

Electric breaker (magnetic). Often used to control for example a kitchen hood, if the flat also has a fireplace, so you don’t accidentally suck combustion gases into the room.

It usually goes by the name reed switch.

Use cases were mentioned by others comments.
It’s just a sensor. It tells the heating to turn off, and/or signals the app in your phone (in case of newer models).
I use them to alert me it I forgot to close some window in the house (specially in the WC).
