Greetings!

I'm having trouble automating my Smart Pet Food Feeder 1, using Mi Home with the Smart Scenes feature. When I designate the feeder to dispense food, the application switches to another screen instead of accepting my designation.

Mi Home version 9.10.700.8865-GooglePlay
Mi Home Region server: Spain
Xiaomi Smart Pet Food Feeder firmware version 2.1.3.0015
Steps to Reproduce:

1) Open Mi Home App
2) Click on the plus sign button on top right side
3) Select Automation
4) In the "Add a trigger condition", add any Device and event (e.g. Camera + Motion Detection)
5) In the "Add an action", choose Device, then select the Smart Food Feeder and "Dispense 1 pellet" as Action.

The radiobutton will not be marked, but Mi Home will switch to the Smart Pet Food Feeder screen instead.

It's clearly a bug because Smart Scenes works for other products. Is it possible to have a workaround for this?

I tried to change the Mi home server regions to China Mainland, as some features diverge, but the Smart Pet Food Feeder is not allowed to be registered then.
