hi @domstarkey, thanks for creating a PR! I'm actually really close to providing fan support but have been blocked because I don't own an Alexa-connected fan and no one has provided the information I need yet to feel confident it will work. This is the information I need:
please upgrade the plugin to the latest version (2.0.1), enable debug in the plugin settings, and share the following output:
[date time] [HomebridgeAlexaSmartHome] <your device name here> ::: Current state: [
...
]
[date time] [HomebridgeAlexaSmartHome] <your device name here> ::: Range capabilities: [
...
]
Thanks!
@joeyhage - Great! Here's what I was able to generate. Current state looks good, but range capabilities are empty:
Fan ::: Range capabilities: {}
Fan ::: Current state: [
{
"namespace": "Alexa.ModeController",
"name": "mode",
"value": "nature",
"instance": "Mode"
},
{
"namespace": "Alexa.RangeController",

"value": 1,
"instance": "Fan.Speed"
},
{

},

@domstarkey thanks so much for creating this PR and fork. I will be adding basic support for fans as you have here in v2.0.8. From what I have discovered so far, various fan models and companies have very different underlying controls which has made it difficult to add full support for fans.
I don't expect to merge this PR, but maybe someone gets some use from this until there's more complete fan support in this repo.
