Ideal for Users Preferring Standard Setup: Best suited for those who wish to retain the preset programs from the Mill app and prefer a simpler, room-based control system.

Individual Device Control: Requires devices to be set in “Control Individually” mode.

Separate Device Control in Homey: Each heater appears as an individual device in Homey, offering more precise and individual control.

Full Control with Homey: Overrides any preset programs in the Mill app, giving Homey complete control over each device.

Local API Support: Provides faster response and more reliable control under certain network conditions.

Enhanced Flexibility and Precision: Ideal for users who desire more granular control over their heating system and are comfortable setting up similar schedules or programs within Homey.
