# Miele@home Binding

This binding integrates Miele@home appliances. Miele@home allows controlling Miele appliances that are equipped with special communication modules. There are devices that communicate through Zigbee and others that use WiFi.

See www.miele.de (opens new window) for the list of available appliances.

# Supported Things

This binding requires the XGW3000 gateway from Miele as all integration with openHAB is done through this gateway. While users with Zigbee-enabled Miele appliances usually own such a gateway, this is often not the case for people that have only WiFi-enabled appliances.

The types of appliances that are supported by this binding are:

  • Coffeemachine
  • Dishwasher
  • Fridge
  • Fridge/Freezer combination
  • Hob
  • Hood
  • Oven
  • Microwave/Oven combination
  • Tumbledryer
  • Washingmachine

# Discovery

The binding is able to auto-discover the Miele XGW3000 gateway. When an XGW3000 gateway is discovered, all appliances can be subsequently discovered.

# Note on Discovery

The XGW3000 gateway is sometimes a few seconds late in re-announcing itself on the network. This means that it might repeatedly disappear from, and re-appear in, the Inbox. To avoid this, there is a discovery configuration parameter removalGracePeriod which delays such Inbox disappearances. The default value is 15 seconds. If you want to change this value just add the following line to your $OPENHAB_CONF/services/runtime.cfg file.

discovery.miele:removalGracePeriod=30

# Thing Configuration

# Thing Configuration for Miele XGW3000

Configuration Parameter Description
ipAddress Network address of the Miele@home gateway
interface Network address of openHAB host interface where the binding will listen for multicast events coming from the Miele@home gateway.
userName Name of a registered Miele@home user.
password Password for the registered Miele@home user.
language Language for state, program and phase texts. Leave blank for system language.

# Thing Configuration for appliance

Configuration Parameter Description
uid Unique identifier for specific appliance on the gateway.

Each appliance needs the device UID as a configuration parameter. The UID is nowhere to be found on the appliances, but since the discovery works quite reliably, a manual configuration is not needed.

# Channels

# Raw values

Some channels represent raw/numeric values for state, program and phase, namely rawState, rawProgram and rawPhase. These channels are more reliable as rule triggers/logic than using their text-based counterparts. Raw values are always available from the gateway even when texts are missing. Only a subset of available raw values are documented here since no official documentation exists.
