Tested with latest H/I Series fan firmware?

[davidmac27]

Describe Your Problem: I can install the plugin and the tiles show up in the Home app but nothing happens when I change fan speeds or turn lights on/off/dim. Also, I only have two fans setup (IP and MACs added to your plugin) but 4 fans show up? Have you tested your plugin with the latest fan firmware (version 2.7.3 dated 4/21/21)? It seems that this firmware may have broken your plugin - I have trouble getting other plugins to work (that used to work).

Hello. Thank you for trying out this plugin. As far as I know you are the first. And thank you for submitting this issue.

First of all, are your fans model i6? The firmware reported by the vendor's Big Ass Fans app, shows my i6 fan's firmware is version 1.7.1 and their app indicates "No Updates Needed."

[davidmac27]

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply!  That’s the problem.  I have a Haiku model fan - I had never heard of i6 - you must live in a huge loft!!  ;)

My problem was when searching for plugins, if you search for “Haiku" you get different plugins versus if you search for "Big Ass” but “Big Ass” search results show two other plugins including yours that would seem to work with my fan (but they are old plugins).  I gravitated towards your since you have been doing a lot of work.

I found the plugin that I originally had working again (Haiku by Big Ass Fans - homebridge-haiku-senseme v3.3.0).  They have a nice auto-discovery feature that you might try to incorporate if it works with the i6 series.

Thanks,

My i6 is only 60” but it’s as large as was practical because I only have 9-foot ceilings. The room’s about 12’ x 18’ if you don’t count the open kitchen.

Thanks for the tip about the homebridge-haiku-senseme plugin. I missed that one because I only thought to search for bigassfans. Yes, I should check out auto discovery .

In any event, thanks for opening the issue, I should log some warnings if things don’t seem to be behaving correctly.

Gotcha.  It would be cool if you could add the Haiku series to your plugin.  I got really excited when I saw that your plug-in reported the temperature and humidity values!  Very cool!

Thanks,

I was more excited about temperature/humidity before I realized the sensors are in the bluetooth remote control rather than in the fan. As far as adding Haiku, it could happen if/when I get a Haiku fan.

I made my email public in my profile so if you want to talk more about the Haiku send me mail and we can continue outside this issue. Thanks.

Version (0.1.1) should show users an error if their fan can't be reached or doesn't communicate with the i6 plugin. I'll close this and see how it goes,

Reopening this to let davidmac27 know that the plugin supports Haiku now and he should start with the beta (homebridge-i6-bigassfans@0.5.0-beta3) if he wants to check it out.
