Describe the issue you are experiencing

It's been a while since I used my fan (last september I think) but I just noticed this issue.

When I click on my (Tuya based) Duux Whisper Flex entity wherever in Home Assistant (whether it's on a dashboard, at the developer tools section or the Tuya integration page itself) the fan beeps and automatically starts oscillating. When I turn the oscillating to 'No' the fan stops oscillating, close the entity window and click the entity again, 'Oscillating' shows 'Yes', the fan beeps and starts oscillating again

Describe the behavior you expected

When clicked on the entity I just want to see the current settings and change settings manually when needed, I don't want it to change any settings automatically

Steps to reproduce the issue

click entity that results in the default fan card

Guess entity attributes probably aren't correct.

Can you find your fan entity in devtools (when oscillating is off), and show the state attributes listed here?

e.g.:

tozzke commented 1 week ago

That attribute changes accordingly

That does explain it, it has a string "false" for oscillating, but we are expecting a boolean false, as per the fan docs: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/core/entity/fan/

In the frontend it is coded such that anything other than a boolean false for oscillating is interpreted as "on", and that causes the panel to think the on value has been selected.

I would report this to the Tuya core integration and point out the discrepancy between this attribute returning a string when it should be a boolean, that should get this fixed. Of couse the frontend could be made more robust to not call the turn on service on incorrectly behaving entities, but I'm not sure if that's a road we want to go down.
