Fan speeds not loading in 2021.7

edalquist commented 2 years ago

I have an Inovelli light/fan switch that uses the Hampton Bay Fan Component for the fan controller. It reports 8 specific speed values. However in Home Assistant the entity presets box only lists auto and on as preset options.

   "name":"Hampton Bay Fan Component",

      {

         "dataType":"NUMBER"
      },
      {

         "currentValue":"on",
         "dataType":"ENUM",
         "values":[

What do you see in the dev tools in HA?

edalquist commented 2 years ago

Thank you for the pointer on checking Dev Tools. It looks like the speeds all show up but presets seem to be the thing that propagates to the UI.

I believe the core issue is that speed_list and speed are deprecated, and the values are supposed to be sent as percentages. So all you'll ever get any more is a slider that snaps to each of its step points.

A fan from Hubitat should never have preset modes, as far as I can tell. The only attributes populated by this component should be percentage_step and percentage. At least I think... the deprecation in HA seems to really emphasize fans that plug into the wall, and not simple ceiling fans.

The reason I'm posting here is because getting a fan exposed from Hubitat->HA->HomeKit results in having 3 switches right now: an on/off as a whole, an auto/on switch for the preset, and a slider for percentage. In case anyone else has the problem, I solved it in customize.yaml by adding this (although the speed_list is probably pointless):

fan.bedroom_fan:
  speed_list:
    - "off"
    - "low"
    - "medium"
    - "high"
  preset_modes: null
  preset_mode: null
