Optionally, you can go to the Meross app and disable the “CLOSED” door ports if you want. A major thing to note with this method is that the status of those unused ports will again be moved back to “OPEN” once the power is reset. Therefore, it will need to be tweaked again every time the power goes off and recovers back.
