Arlec Boston Smart Fan #373

Open Madz75 opened 2 years ago

Madz75 commented 2 years ago

I purchased a Boston Smart Fan and I spent a few hours messing about with the settings with mixed results. I ended up having the most luck from info I gathered from here:

https://github.com/AMoo-Miki/homebridge-tuya-lan/pull/148#issue-548490889

So the fan support 6 speeds, dimmable light and also white/ warm white

These are the settings I landed on:

{ "type": "Fanlight", "name": "Fan Light", "id": "xxx", "key": "yyy", "manufacturer": "Arlec", "model": "Boston", "dpActive": 1, "dpRotationSpeed": 6, "dpLightOn": 9, "dpBrightness": 10 }

Now the rotation speed works perfectly with all 6 speeds being accounted for. I can turn the light on and off but the brightness goes up and down as the slider goes up. It seems to support full brightness and slightly dimmed and alternates between the 2 as I move the slider. I've tried using different numbers for dpBrightness but anything that I've tried other than 10 just doesn't work at all. I can't find a setting that works with the hue but thats not the end of the world really.

Has anyone had any luck with this model or a similar one?

Cheers!

I have the same fans and have the same experience as you.
