Error - 433 MHz is not allowed in country: US - but i'm living in DE

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to add my garage door opener via 433 MHz in Homey, but I keep getting the following error:

Transmitting 433 MHz is not allowed in country: US

The strange thing is:

  • I live in Germany

  • No VPN active

  • Internet via Starlink

  • According to my IP address, my location is also recognized as Germany

  • My location in the Homey app is correctly set to Germany

Still, Homey seems to think I’m located in the US, where 433 MHz is not allowed.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or knows how to tell Homey that I’m actually in Germany?

Thanks a lot in advance!
