please learn how to use code fences:
We all have to type this content over and over and over. Here is a posting we can all point to when the topic comes up.
Why use code fences?
Because rules, sitemap, logs, and configs are all but unreadable when code fences are not used.
When to use code fences?
Whenever one is posting any sort of code, config, log, and any text where line wrapping, indentation, and using an equal spaced font makes the text more legible.
How to use code fences?
Use 3 backticks (```)...
Or use <code>...

The issue you are having is covered in this section of the readme
# EspMilightHub Binding
This is an openHAB binding that allows a single opensource esp8266 bridge (created by Chris Mullins aka Sidoh) to automatically find and add Milight globes into openHAB. The first question openHAB users may have is “Why another binding when one already exists?”, The short answer/s to this are that the new OPENSOURCE bridge allows:
+ Almost unlimited groups so you can have individual control over an entire house of Milight globes without multiple bridges. A single bridge uses less power for one of many advantages.
+ If using the Milight remotes to control the globes, this binding will update the openHAB controls the moment a key is pressed on the remote.
+ Auto scan and adding of the globes via paper UI.
+ If you reboot openHAB the state of the globes will refresh and display correctly after the reboot due to the hub tracking the states and recording them in the MQTT broker.
+ Many other reasons besides just being opensource and hence can get firmware updates to support new globes and wifi KRACK patches.
## Steps to getting the hardware esp8266 Milight Hub working
In depth details on how to build and what the bridge is can be found here:

The easiest way to get it setup is to use PaperUI to auto find and add the globes. Just control them first in the webinterface for the ESPmilight which you stated works, this adds the globes to the MQTT retained messages. Then when paperUI searches it will find the globes from MQTT.
