Support Request: 3 speed IR fan support?

[niels-vd]

Describe Your Problem

As soon as I 'enable rotation speed' for my IR fan, the plugin gives a warning that disables my devices. How should I enable speed control for a 3 speed fan, if possible at all? In the config example I used the defaults, but I get the same error with all settings.

Relevant log output

This is the warning that appears in the homebridge logs, after that the devices become unresponsive:

[2/15/2022, 2:39:11 PM] [@switchbot/homebridge-switchbot] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Rotation Speed': characteristic was supplied illegal value: number 0 exceeded minimum of 1. See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.

Config for homebridge-switchbot

"options": {
            "irdevices": [
                {
                    "deviceId": "02-202202081352-74320829",
                    "configRemoteType": "Fan",
                    "irfan": {
                        "rotation_speed": false,
                        "set_minStep": 1,
                        "set_min": 0,
                        "set_max": 100
                    }
                }

first set your "set_min": 0, to 1 so "set_min": 1,.

first set your "set_min": 0, to 1 so "set_min": 1,.

I tried that, but I get the exact same warning and behaviour. I enabled debug logging as well, but nothing strange's logged.

[donavanbecker]

that's what the warning is saying though.

[niels-vd]

Yeah, I thought it'd be that easy as well, but it doesn't matter what values I enter. As long as "rotation_speed": true, I get the same warning.

[donavanbecker]

please change to 1 and repost logs.

My config now:

            "irdevices": [
                {

                    "configRemoteType": "Fan",
                    "irfan": {
                        "swing_mode": false,
                        "rotation_speed": true,
                        "set_minStep": 1,
                        "set_min": 1,

@donavanbecker I think I found something. There seemed to be two conflicting buttons in the switchbot app fan configuration. I got rid of that and now the warning doesn't appear anymore. Now I only have to find out what's the best setting for a fan with 3 speed buttons, since I haven't figured it out yet

I will look to see if I can add these commands to the plugin. but no promise.

Thanks! It’s a nice to have of course, but all effort’s appreciated
