This is a huge peeve of mine. The firmware in the 2020 mass market trash is the same as 1995; they have no reason to change it because you'll keep buying the hardware over and over again. And it's buggy. Try opening the door on the first "finished cooking" beep. It will keep fucking beeping for 5 seconds even though it has a door sensor and it could stop the beeping.

Does it stop beeping if you open the door after the second beep? Aftermarket potential for smart microwave door buttons….

  No, once it's in that "battle stations" mode it won't stop for anything. Every mike I've had for decades.

I open the door before the time is up to prevent the beeps. Alas, when you hit clear to show the time again, there's a beep.

It's always amazing to me how bad a lot of consumer UI is. Consider the microwave has a fan. If you are in the room you can hear the fan go off. Why beep right away. Why not wait 10-30 seconds. And then there are the ones that beep every 30 seconds of no one opens the door, forever. There are things like my Prius HVAC. Yesterday afternoon it was 80 degrees. And I had the air on. Tonight it's 45 degrees. When I turn the car on it blows cold air at me. Even though it knows it's 45 degrees out. Dumb.

Try to find any CPU from 1995 that is still available. Most are no longer on the market and so they had to rewrite the ui again for no good reason.

They are all buggy. Mine does not beep after the door is open, but rather the start / +1 minute button will start the microwave with one minute, or add one minute if the microwave is "cleared" or running. If it hits zero seconds, then you press the button it does nothing until you hit clear.
