Yes, it is the binding I am talking about. I just retested it, works fine (the whole openhab installation was not responding properly). The binding is based on reverse engineering of the mobile app, so it is not so easy to add new features.
Besides that I am happy about my MillHeat panels. Happy enought to have bought 7 of them in various forms 
(I am the developer/maintainer of this binding).
Regards
Thanks Arne,
That explains the app - addon relation.
So, back to my first post: Feel free to share a few lines of OH code to just set the temperature. Connecting to Wifi Things will be another Everest climb to me. Iāve had too many already.
Take care.
Well, if you are configuring using files you can add a bridge and a heater thing in a thing file:
Bridge millheat:account:home "Millheat account" [username="email@address.com",password="topsecret"] {
Thing heater office "Office panel heater" [ macAddress="F0XXXXXXXXX", power=900, heaterId=12345 ] Note: heaterId is a numeric value
}
Then add a single item
Number:Temperature Heating_Office_Heater_Target_Temperature "Heater target [%.1f %unit%]" <temperature> {channel="millheat:heater:home:office:targetTemperature"}
Then set your desired temperature via one of your user interfaces/rules.
Note: Auto discovery is even easier, just add the binding, configure the account details and search for things.
Thanks again Arne,
Iām using files only, so this makes sence, but generates a few questions:
Sorry for the questions, but can hopefully make it easier for subsquent users.
Cheers
Thanks,
Iām sorry, but now Iām confused!!
Final question:
I do not wish/want to interact with the phon app. I just want OH PaperUI to auto detect the two Mill panels and their channels, using the Network and Millheat Bindings, and therafter command the temperature from a simple rule. The final question is if the Millheat binding can do this, or I need to use the phone app to set up the Mill panels first.
Thanks and stay healthy.
In order to add the heaters to your mill heat account you need to use the app.
After that you need to use the millheat app to set the heaters to āindependentā mode. Then you can send commands to adjust the temperature directly instead of adjusting the temperature for each comfort/sleep/away mode.
Regards
Thanks, Perfect!
Just one more:
What if there is a power outage? Will that require a re-setup from the phone app or will Mill remenber the setup?
Simple answer: Nothing is lost. But if you are using the room program setup, the heaters will remain at their current temperature until connection is restored - not following the room program.
Cheers
Hello,
I have OH2.5 installation and I have been using the MillHeat binding for few months. It was working properly earlier but I recently noticed that the MillHeat server does not change the setting when I make change in OH. If I look at the OH logs it looks like the temperature is changed but the setting is not changing anything in the heater and after minute or two I can see in the OH log it looks like it changes back to the previous temperature (even though nothing never really changed in the heater setting). When I monitor the MillHeat mobile app there is no change at all in the settings. This happened after the MillHeat mobile app was updated.
OK, it might be that they have changed the API (which is unpublished and require reverse engineering of the app).
I will try to fix this, but I am unable to do it at the moment unfortunately.
Regards
Trying to set it up in OH3 and Mill Heating API is stuck at INITIALIZING. Credentials are correct and donāt have any connection problems using their iOS app.
OK, I have yet to test on the latest OH3.
Could you send some logs? Be careful to mask any personal details before sending.
Regards

It appears that they are no longer following the ISO8601 standard on timezone information; the standard mandates 2 digits for each segment (hour/minutes) while they are sending just 1.
I wonāt be able to create a workaround for this very soon, but please file a bug on github. You may try to adjust the timezone in the Millheat app to UTC to see if they send something parseable then.
Regards
Arne
Ok, just filed a bug report.
Canāt find a way to change the time zone using the Millheat app, tried both iOS and Android.
It is displayed under Settings>Date and time, but canāt be changed. And there is no info at their site either, just that it gets the time from the cloud.
Cool!
Yes I am aware of it. Unfortunately it is quite limited.
Regards
Hello Together,
Iāve ordered an āmill PA900Wifi3ā because of this OpenHab binding.
Summary: Iām not happy with itā¦ ā I think it goes back.
My Idea:
I want to control the temperature of my small Bathroom by OpenHab.
What works well:
Adding the āmill PA900Wifi3ā into my local network.
Installing the Smartphone app āMill Norwayā
Control the Heater by this app, works also well
Adding and connectiing the OpenHab Binding (Gateway) works well
->If you add your Heater to an Room in the app āMill Norwayā
Then adding a Room to OpenHab works also well.
->If you add your Heater as standalone the app āMill Norwayā
Then adding the Heater as standalone in OpenHab works also wellā¦
Now the Problems:
ā Iām not able to control the temperature of the Room!
ā The documentation says it sould be possible to R/W these variables. But it isnāt.
Here in this test. I try to set the Away and Sleep Mode to 27 degree. After a view seconds the old values are backā¦
(I have done several tests and tries, no success.)
Also if I add the Heater as āStandaloneā this means without connection to any Room. Then you are not able to see the additional settings like ātargetTemperatureā. (Mentioned in the binding documentation)
Last problem:
Iām not able to switch the heater off by OpenHabā¦
If I add
Not so beautiful:
The Temperature is shown as wrong value:
Solution:
Send the heater back, buy a more simple heater and control it by an switchable socketā¦
