What features are expected for a fan?

[Symbiot78]

I’ll all info later - but just wondering what is expected from the plugin?

My fan is in the supported list but all I am able to do is turn it off and on. No settings, oscillation or otherwise.

Just wondering if that is the expected behavior?

You should at least be able to control power + fan speed. If your fan supports oscillation it should also show those controls in the home app. What model do you have?

[Symbiot78]

It’s the DR-HTF001S

here's what I started writing for this issue - above was on my phone..

I've added a dreo fan to homebridge and used the plugin.

So far I can only turn it on and off.. and see settings

oh.. I have NOT added homebridge to apple Home - if that makes a difference?

[Symbiot78]

Reason for that is I want to add my Dreo to Home assistant

[Symbiot78]

ok.. hmm.. so the plot thickens.. I added the homebridge & dreo to "home" on my Iphone. Here the fan works as I had expected.. I can set speed, oscillation etc.

So in homebridge dashboard.. I still cannot.

[Symbiot78]

added it to Home assistant. If I open the fan entity then I also have all the options (fan speed, on/off, oscillation on/off.)

Hi - you mind explaining how you were able to achieve this? I don't really understand how this "plugin" works & where it is being added. So from there to getting it on Home Assistant, I'm lost. Appreciate any help

[Symbiot78]

Hey

So how far did you get?

[PapiOrtiz]

I have the fan + home assistant is set up.

Part of me thinks feels in order to add the plug in to Home Assistant, I need to add it as an Add-On through the Repository. Am I on to something?

[Symbiot78]

You need homebridge .. fx running in docker.

https://hub.docker.com/r/oznu/homebridge/

Then that should be picked up by HomeKit controller integration in HA In homebridge you add the dreo integration

HA will pick up the dreo AND the homebridge.

I didn’t add homebridge to HomeKit.. only dreo

I'm running into an issue where the fan shows up and I can turn it on/off and control the fan speed but I don't have an option to control oscillation unless I go into the fans additional settings, . My fan is supported (DR-HTF002S). Hopefully I'm just missing a setting and this is an easy problem to fix. attached are screenshots of what I'm talking about.

[Symbiot78]

@azalvarez03 - same as mine. What is your expectation? What would you like to be different?

[azalvarez03]

@Symbiot78 I'm looking to get the oscillation setting in the main settings rather than having to go into additional setting and flipping the toggle to turn oscillation on and off.

This is an iOS 17 beta issue. Homebridge exposes the controls to iOS and it's up to Apple to choose how they are displayed.
