Using “level 1” through “level 6” does not seem to work as intended... #12

Closed stantonlefort closed 3 years ago

I can access all the fan speed levels by specifying %’s or increase/decrease level, but when I ask Siri to set the fan to “level 1” it goes to 33%. Same for “level 2”. All other level commands go to 0%.

Am I missing something? Can I access all 6 speed levels? Thanks,

Stan

Hey @stantonlefort. As far as I can tell Homekit only supports the fan speed as a percentage.

If you say a percentage that doesn't exactly map to a 1-6 step, Siri will round to the closest step.

My assumption of what's happening is you say "Step 3" for example, Siri is interpreting that as 3% and rounding to 0%.

Hopefully this can help narrow down what's happening for you. If you come across a way to display it as steps in the Homekit app please let me know.

@nickbreaton - thanks for the prompt response. I believe you are correct, but will report anything I find.

Even though it does level understand "levels", there is lots of controllability. I was able to say do to multiple variations of:

Also, it seems to know the fans as a set (without any grouping), so the following works across my 3 Modern Forms fans in different rooms:

Not perfect ... but very good and 99.99% better than no HomeKit integration. Thanks for making this available! Stan

Okay great. Since there's no further action to take at the moment, I'm going to close this. If you come across anything please feel free to reopen.
