[APP][Pro] Mill Heating

Hi Smarthus1,

I’ve just pushed the new Test version. It does support triggers, conditions and actions.
Please, come back with some feedback.

In addition, I have blindly added the capability to control the heating power for Gen2 oil radiators.
Could you try it again?
Remember to delete the device first.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

Gen3 oil tested and can confirm that power settings can be used in flows. Unable to add gen2 oil in mill and mill v2. In v2 I select cloud API but nothing happens.
Have to use official mill app for the gen 2 oil.

I also notice that when the gen3 oil reaches temp setpoint the temp. drops 2° before it starts to warm up again. Mill say that oil g3 starts to heat 0,5° under setpoint and stop 0,5° over setpoint and if it in my case drops 2° it’s because of slowness between when it starts to heat and the sensor sees heat. Is this something that this app can fix or is this coded in the g3s hardware?

Thanks for the quick response.
Since the feature seems to work, I’ll push it to production.
Regarding gen2, I should have said that they are not supported by the app. My bad.

The temperatur sensor issue is in hardware.
Best regards,

Would it be smart to add accumulated power usage in a later update? :smiley:

Great app. I needed a moment to figure out which driver worked best for me (which is V2). Works quick and flawless. Keep up the good work.

Hi,

Thank you very much for the nice feedback!

Hi.

Seems like the temperature alarm is not working on the Sense. Today it is over 28 degrees and it is still not set to true. 25 is the standard limit but I lowered it ot 22. Can you also verify that changing the limit in the mill app also change the point when it is triggered in Homey too? Thanks.

If you want I can contribute. This is me philipostli (Philip Østli) · GitHub

Hi Philip,

Let me test this one when back from vacation. I have a few of those at home.
Contributions are more than welcome, mate! :rocket::rocket::rocket:
Here is the GitHub repo: https://github.com/ivo-i/Mill-Heating
The more we are, the better!
Cheers!

Nice. Added a PR for a simple fix.

I also have this question. Anyone knows? Does they show up in the energy tab so see energy consumption?

No, they don’t show in energy tab. I guess the developer need to update the app for them to show there.

Hey guys, let me take a look at this during the weekend. Summer is almost over, so it’s time to get some good stuff done. :slight_smile:

Did you get the chance to have a look at it during the weekend @Ivelin_Ivanov? I’m looking forward to test it as the Mill devices are the only “top consumers” not currently showing in the Homey energy overview.

Hey Petter,

Yes, I did and still testing it. Expect a new app test version tomorrow morning.
Thanks for following this up! :rocket::rocket::rocket:

Looking forward to start testing!

Hi Petter and Fredrik,

Please have a look at the latest test version of the app and see if it works for you:
https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.Coderax.MillHeating/Mill-Heating/test/

Since Mill heaters don’t have an integrated power meter, I’m integrating instantaneous power (from /control-status) over time to estimate energy use, assuming the power value remains constant between the last fetch and now.

The formula was kindly provided by OpenAI, so let’s treat it with a healthy dose of skepticism. :slight_smile:
Thanks for your patience, guys!

Best regards,

I started heating using one of my Mill heaters for quite a while after installing the test version, but despite using energy for some time its not showing in the Homey Energy overview.

Could you share the type of the heater and generation?
Also have you tried deleting and adding again?

Its this one:

I just tried deleting and re-adding it, and so far it seems the same.

I see that the device don’t show a kWh measurement, which I think is a requirement for it to show under Homey Energy.

That device is supported. Did you added via Mill v2 driver and over a local API integration?
Try contacting me over LinkedIn or any other social media, should not be hard to find me. :slight_smile:
