Proprietary smart-home ecosystem

Miele appliances are equipped with online functionality, and protocols used for managing those appliances are proprietary. No Matter integration is provided although Miele is part of CSA.^[1],

Instead Miele offers its own protocol which is difficult to set up, needs a Miele Developer Account^[2] and is only practical for technically experienced users.

Miele app incident

With Version 4.0 released in 2021, the Miele companion app had suddenly lost critical advertised features^[3] such as:

The washing assistant
The ability to view the remaining detergent in washing machines.

These functions came back slowly in 2022 after lots of negative feedback from users.
