I mean, they could take the app dev resources and put them towards a better built-in solution; like maybe you could open it up wide enough to click/lock the door into place at a very wide angle and that would disable the beeper, or a button that disables it temporarily either based on time or til the next button press. But yeah, I get how a default dumb beeper is more annoying than it helps

Commercial fridges already have this. They have a wedge under the hinge with a little shallow notch at the end. The weight of the door pushes the hinge on the wedge and it slowly closes the door when you’re not actively holding it open. The notch is so that it will hold open and is paired with a kick plate so you can give a little boot as you’re walking away to get it back on its closing game.

Look at public restroom stall doors for an example of what I’m talking about.

It does do that, too. It'll only send notifications to your phone if you have it added on SmartThings
