Hi @Doekse,
Why is the app needed? The smart window handle from SIEGENIA uses Matter as protocol. And Matter devices don’t actually need an additional Homey app, afaik.
The RAM of a Homey Pro (early 2023) / Homey Pro mini isn’t infinite. So we’re actually happy that we don’t need a separate Homey app for every (Matter) device.
Matter apps exist to make products easier to find in the Homey App Store. We’ve noticed that many customers contact support after purchasing a Matter-compatible device because they can’t find the brand listed in the store. These apps also provide helpful quality-of-life features, such as custom device icons and pairing instructions.
That said, you don’t need to install the app to use the product, it’s completely optional 
Hi @Doekse,
SIEGENIA has released its new Smart Sensor. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time to replace my door/window contact sensors and ordered two today for testing purposes. Will you be updating your app to support it? Do you need a sensor of your own for this, or would information from me be enough?
I believe my samples from SIEGENIA should already be on their way to me, I’ll check in with their team. The app should also be made official real soon.
That’s great, Abe!
