Hello,

I have moved from BeNext to Homey and so far more dan satisfied. I have seen that the external contact of the Door/Window sensor is called ‘Water Alarm’. May I suggest to rename this to ‘External Contact’ as this contact is a generic input for an exteral potential-free switch. Either be a simple push button e.g. used for a simple doorbel (as I use it) or a specific switch e.g. a water sensor. In addition the appropriate icon should be changed as well!  
An alternative solution, I guess more complicated to implement, would be an editable text!

Thanks in advance and regards,  
Gerard

Probably more effective when you place this on [https://github.com/Inversion-NL/eu.benext/issues](https://github.com/Inversion-NL/eu.benext/issues)
