Tried to post the same topic on Reddit, but despite many views, no response, so trying here.
I’m using Mill Generation 3 wall plugs for my heaters, and I haven’t really figured out how they work in my HA configuration, even though I’m fairly certain they are correctly set up. From the Millheat app, everything works flawlessly, but it would be awesome if I could get rid of it in favor of controlling everything from HA (obviously). The integration in question is this:

When clicking on the device in Home Assistant, I get two temperatures, one that says Idle (Heat) and Currently, in this case 17°C and 19,7°C, respectively. Using the app as reference, the “Currently” temperature is correct, but as for the Idle temperature, it’s set to 16°C according to the app, not 17. Actually, it’s the same for all four units that I have (HA: 16, 19, 22, 22 - App: 16, 16, 24, 16). The current temperature of the room/unit is correct for all of them. Why doesn’t HA and the app agree? Is the Idle (Heat) meant to measure something else than what I think it should?

I’ve created some small scripts connected to buttons to quickly change the temperature programs for a given room:sequence:
sequence:
action: mill.set_room_temperature
metadata: {}
data:
room_name: Barnerom
away_temp: 16
sleep_temp: 16
comfort_temp: 22
alias: br_default_temp
description: ""
icon: mdi:sun-thermometer-outline
When I check the app, the temperatures for away, sleep and comfort have changed correctly, and the app says that a third party service have taken control over the program. That’s fine, but it doesn’t seem like the program ever kicks in. I discovered that after running the script above, expecting the room to start heating up when reaching “comfort time”, but nothing happened. When I opened the app, it said that it should warm up to the given temperature, but nothing happened until I told the app to take back the control. Could be a Mill issue, perhaps?
- And lastly, this is probably more of a change request than a bug, but when running the scripts mentioned above, I don’t really know if the script ran and what temperature was actually set. For that, I have to open the app - and that’s inconvenient. Is there a way in HA to see which temperatures are set for away, sleep and comfort?
