Hello i try to use my new Sonoff Mini Dry zigbee device to connect my garage door to my Homey Pro 2026 in order to be able to open/close it via my homey app. i succeed but an issue remains, which, i think, is due to the fact that i can’t modifiy a parameter on the Mini Dry to avoid contact staying in the same position until a click again…

I suppose it’s due to the fact that the device has been recognized a “standard Zigbee device”, not “Sonoff device” one, even if the Sonoff app is intalled in my Homay pro..

Any help please? (sorry, screenshoots are in French…)

Thanks

Florent

It’s not yet supported, you should contact the developer. Note that the developer might ask for donations, which you should **NOT** send! That’s aginast the rules for official app developers, according to @Doekse .

Actually, I’ll be diving into this topic next week! I’ve already scheduled a meeting with the SONOFF team at IFA to discuss it.

Do note that I have quite a backlog of emails to catch up on after my holiday, so it might take me a little while to share an update.

The parameter that needs to be changed to make it work is exactly explained in that video (at 5’23") : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFHJ5CfGRqc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFHJ5CfGRqc)

So you have an eWeLink bridge (Sonoff ZBBridge)? In that case, you might be able to get it working as a Generic device in the eWeLink Homey app:

> **[eWeLink | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/app/cc.ewelink/eWeLink/)**
>
> Works with everything
