Expose "Every Day" toggle for Fan Schedule as a switch in homekit #614

Thanks so much for building this great Homebridge plugin! I'm wondering if it's possible to expose the "Every Day" toggle under Fan Schedule in the Nest app as a switch in Homekit?

Basically what I'd like to be able to do is have a smart "summer switch" for my furnace fan to circulate cool air from the basement to the rest of the house in the warmer months when my upstairs rooms get to warm (we don't have AC in my home yet). I have a Nest temperature sensor upstairs in the room that tends to get hottest, and I'd like to run the fan when that sensor detects the temperature rising above a certain threshold.

My issue is that I can only seem to run the fan once for a pre-defined length of time (Fan Duration variable), as a one-time command when the temperature first rises above the threshold, and I can't seem to set an automation that will keep checking if the temperature is still above the threshold and keep running the fan if so.

I think the simplest solution would be if I could dynamically enable the "every day" toggle under fan schedule in the Nest app whenever my nest temperature surpasses a certain temperature threshold, and turn it off when the temperature drops below that threshold, and I can have the minutes per hour and hours per day I want the fan to run set in the Fan Schedule.

Thanks so much for your help with this! I hope I've clearly articulated the issue and my request.

All the best!
