Control via add-on stops working

[RPJacobs]

Describe the bug I installed two add-ons (with CC1101) on two CVE-Silent

Itho device type: CVE-Silent Itho fw version: 11

They both work initially, enabled MQTT -> Homebridge -> Apple Homekit, removed remote from unit and joined the add-on. (works great, thanks Arjen!)

But after a tmie the fan on the ground floor stops controlling the Itho Fan. I can login to the web interface and retrieve the settings, run all debug queries but not controle the fanspeed! I2C not working? Status page indicates connected... After a power cycle the unit works as accepted then stops again.

Can your please advice?

To Reproduce not sure what is going wrong...

Expected behaviour control the fan by MQTT or the web interface.

If debug queries still give a valid result than 9 out of 10 times the fan is not in the correct mode for (PWM2I2C) control. If the situation occurs again, please go to the Itho status page off the add on and post the value of the label "FanInfo"

On the wiki there is some more info about this: https://github.com/arjenhiemstra/ithowifi/wiki/Controlling-the-speed-of-a-fan

Thank for the reply! Dump question but there is no FanInfo on the status page:

But I did find:

RF Mode it is....

[arjenhiemstra]

Thanks, you have a itho make/fw version I have not seen before :) What system info is on top of the Itho settings page?

[RPJacobs]

It’s in the initial post:

Itho device type: CVE-Silent Itho fw version: 11

It’s in the initial post:

Itho device type: CVE-Silent Itho fw version: 11

Doh, sorry! Overlooked that..... grrr

[RPJacobs]

I joined the remote to the fan and removed it again. Then joined the addon again. Now it does not stop working! Also updated to 2.4.0

If you need more info about the fan contact me directly.

Ah now I see, "Selection" is comparable with "FanInfo" on newer itho models. This is the table: 0 Off 1 Holiday 2 Low 3 Nominal / auto 4 High 5 Timer

Your fan on the low setting and should be on 2 or Nominal/auto. Probably if you powercyle the unit it will be on 3. Something pushed you itho out of mode 3. Most probably that is a remote (either physical of virtual)

Thanks! I'll update the wiki with this info, very helpful! Thanks for creating an issue!
