This is something what Athom has to fix, not the App Developer of the Homey Apps.  
So please contact Athom Support → [Support | Homey](https://homey.app/support/)

Btw, negative values can be entered in the [WebApp](http://my.homey.app).

This is what @TedTolboom, the App Developer of the Aqara App, wrote ten days ago about the “external sensor” in a other topic:

So it’s on his To-Do list.
