How can I stop a smart garage-door opener showing open when the door is shut?

Our answer

Recalibrate the door position sensor and verify its magnet or tilt-switch mounting.

Why this approach makes sense

Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.

Before you try it

Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
