Provide a way to set fan to "auto" #8

Closed sgtsquiggs closed 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: I cannot seem to set the fan to auto w/ Homebridge & Apple Home.

Describe the solution you'd like: I'd love an option to disable the fan control as a slider and have it be an on-off toggle between off and auto.

If Home had the concept of a positioned switch I'd prefer that: off/auto/nightmode. I can dream.

Describe alternatives you've considered: Using the BlueAir app :(

Additional context:

It's a bit hidden, but you should be able to set it to auto/nightmode. For nightmode you need to adjust the configuration of the plugin. From the Homebridge UI you can do that easily, you just need to enable Night Mode and a switch will be created for it.

The auto fan mode is available in the main accessory: if you have multiple accessories created with the purifier (it might be the case by default, I don't really remember, sorry), you have to click on the purifier, click on Accessories, select the purifier again and there should be an Auto/Manual switch.
