Allow fan speed adjustment for dehumidifier #89

Open mrbritten opened 1 week ago

mrbritten commented 1 week ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

When opening the dehumidifier button from the home app I only see a slider to adjust the humidity level, I would like to be able to set the fan speed as well. Currently I can tell Siri to set fan speed to 25 and it will go to low speed mode, if I ask Siri to set fan speed to 100 it will go to high speed mode. I would like to use a slider to adjust without having to talk to Siri.

Describe the solution you'd like:

When setting an automation for the dehumidifier there is a slider at the bottom to set fan speed as well already, I would just like to see that also when selecting the dehumidifier from the Home Screen.

If you open the accessory from the Home app, there will be a gear icon in the bottom right corner. If you click on that you can adjust the speed of the fan.

I can make a configuration option which will toggle if a separate fan service should be created or not if that is more comfortable for you.

I don’t have an option to adjust even after clicking the gear.  That is the way I used to do it with a different plugin.  On Jun 22, 2024, at 7:21 AM, Kovalovszky Patrik @.***> wrote: If you open the accessory from the Home app, there will be a gear icon in the bottom right corner.

Maybe you have enabled other accessories (like the water tank one) and now all of those accessories are grouped. I this case you when you open the menu with the gear, there should be an Accessories line. In that menu you should select the dehumidifier again and the fan speed adjustment should be there.

I have the temp sensor enabled, when I click accessories then i see the dehumidifier and temp sensor, then when I opens dehumidifier from there and click gear I see the fan speed adjustment, you are correct.It would be nice to have that adjustment accessible when opening dehumidifier from the Home Screen though.On Jun 22, 2024, at 7:33 AM, Kovalovszky Patrik @.***> wrote: Maybe you have enabled other accessories (like the water tank one) and now all of those accessories are grouped.

I also noticed it doesn’t show the current relative humidity when the temp sensor is enabled.  Is there a way to ungroup the accessories so temp sensor is separate and the dehumidifier acts like it does with no accessories selected?On Jun 22, 2024, at 7:44 AM, Matthew Britten @.> wrote:I have the temp sensor enabled, when I click accessories then i see the dehumidifier and temp sensor, then when I opens dehumidifier from there and click gear I see the fan speed adjustment, you are correct.It would be nice to have that adjustment accessible when opening dehumidifier from the Home Screen though.On Jun 22, 2024, at 7:33 AM, Kovalovszky Patrik @.> wrote: Maybe you have enabled other accessories (like the water tank one) and now all of those accessories are grouped.

AFAIK you can't ungroup the temperature sensor from it. These are the limitations of the Home app sadly. So there are multiple solutions now:

  1. make the temperature sensor as a sepearate accessory which will enable the ungrouping
  2. create a fan accessory as a seperate accessory which is basically "synced" to the main accessory, you just have a seperate accessory for controlling the fans

Also, I can merge the previous two solutions into one. Please suggest which one is more usable. And of course if you need it I can create a seperate humidity sensor as well.

I think option 1, making the temperature sensor a separate accessory would be the way to go.On Jun 22, 2024, at 8:24 AM, Kovalovszky Patrik @.***> wrote: AFAIK you can't ungroup the temperature sensor from it. These are the limitations of the Home app sadly. So there are multiple solutions now:

Wait, I was wrong. If you can see the temperature sensor as a seperate accessory you can ungroup it. I've described the menu where you see the Accessories menu. Under that option somewhere there should be a button like Show as seperate tiles or something like that, which will ungroup those accessories. Can you check it if it solves your problems?

mrbritten commented 1 week ago

Odd, I do not have an option to show as separate tiles anywhere.On Jun 22, 2024, at 8:42 AM, Kovalovszky Patrik @.***> wrote: Wait, I was wrong.

The photo didnt came through but in the meantime I managed to simulate a humidifier accessory and it's indeed not possible to ungroup them. It means that option 1 is not feasible.

mrbritten commented 1 week ago

It’s not the end of the world, I can just tell Siri to adjust the speed or perform the extra clicks needed to get there when need be.  It would have been nice if it could have all just been adjustable when clicking the dehumidifier from the home page, I’ll live with it like this. I appreciate your time.On Jun 22, 2024, at 9:05 AM, Kovalovszky Patrik @.***> wrote: The photo didnt came through but in the meantime I managed to simulate a humidifier accessory and it's indeed not possible to ungroup them.

I can still add a Fan accessory which will be available from the Home main screen. So you would have the dehumidifier settings on the top and the fan at the bottom, like this:

I've released v1.1.0-beta.1 which contains the ability to add the fan to the dehumidifer, you can enable it from the plugin configuration. Could you try it out please?
