Added ability to make specific binary switches act as fans #52

In many apartments, fans are controlled through normal wall switches. These changes allow adding those to HomeKit as fans allowing for better control through Siri.

I'm new to JS and Homebridge, can similar updates be made to allow specific light bulbs (aka dimmer-type fan switches) to act as fans?

It definitely can be done. The trick would be looking into how HomeKit and therefore Homebridge treats different fan speeds. I believe dimmers in Homebridge-wink use consumption to spoof percentages, and this could also be done to spoof levels of fans. It just may take a bit more trial and error.
