Since update to latest version I'm not able to turn on/off my pumps
Since the change of pumps from switch to fan my pumps can not be turned on/of. The state is recognized. Enabled debug do not show any errors. Switching back to 0.0.6 with geckolib 0.3.19 work again. I habe no vario speed pumps
Did you try changing the Preset Mode setting?
Toggling the pump on/off does nothing for me now, but changing the Preset Mode allows me to control my pumps.
you are right, changing preset mode work for me too. Anywas it would be great to have On/Off switch working for none vario speed pumps. I know that I wrap this setting to a switch in HA but i prefer to have it oob.
I think we should be able to solve this by getting a better lovelace component for a fan. I haven't gotten a chance to test any yet, but a quick google search led me to one example: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/lovelace-custom-fan-card-example/68318/68
I'll keep you posted when I find a good solution.
I noticed this after I merged the variable speed fan stuff in, and so it’s on my schedule to fix. The switch ought to toggle between HI and OFF for single speed pumps … indeed the options ought to be limited to that. Investigation is proceeding. 😀

@gazoodle, you're the man!
I had the same. I use a graphic of my tub with pump icons and changed the entities for them to input_booleans which trigger automations with service calls to set the fan presents (OFF or HI). Needs two automations (on to off and off to on) for each pump, so it's clumsy but it does work

EDIT: Ignore my bug below. I fixed it and updated the code. The button clicks work now.
@gazoodle, I followed this lovelace custom fan example and got it somewhat functioning. I want to share with you in case you find this useful and want to roll out to the rest of the users. I could always make a separate Github repo for the custom card if we decide to proceed down this path.
I am able to successfully see the preset_mode states for my pump.
However, when I click on OFF/LO/HIGH, I get the following error:

Picture-elements does not support javascript.
You can setup a switch in your configuration.yaml and toggle the switch with an state-icon.
Configuration.yaml
switch:
- platform: template switches: jet1: friendly_name: 'Spa Jet1' turn_on: service: fan.set_preset_mode data: preset_mode: 'HI' entity_id: fan.ducky_tub_pump_1 turn_off: service: fan.set_preset_mode data: preset_mode: 'OFF' entity_id: fan.ducky_tub_pump_1

The state of my pumps are not reconized anymore!
Your pumps would have been switch entities in HA. The component now provides them as fans. Please see above.
@mikeboiko thanks for your solution for the entity rows. I like the simplicity of it. Your code block seems to be a bit broken though, looks like the whole file has been pasted again into the middle of the block.
I might have to tweak the buttons slightly as the active one has come out quite dark.
however, i'm having a problem with it atm. will be having a look into this later on.

Oops, I somehow gobbled the code when I copy/pasted it. Try the updated snippet. I like the idea of changing the colors. They look fine in light mode, but unusable in dark mode. I just found this template in a forum, so I didn't spend any time on customizing the colors. Let me know if you make some improvements to it.
@mikeboiko i've removed most of the CSS, now looks like this. Should work with themes.
<style>
:host {
display: inherit;
}
.flex-container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.preset-modes button:host {
display: inline-flex;
outline: none;
}
.mdc-button:disabled {
background: var(--primary-color);
color: var(--primary-text-color);
}
</style>
Light mode looks inverted, i'll make some adjustments later
EDIT: i must not have refreshed properly. it's acceptable!

Nice, I like that!
I noticed some of your screenshots still show the old style formatting. Are you revving up the version of your custom resource?
For example, every time I make a change to fan-card.js, I change the version number in configration.yaml as such:
lovelace: # {{{1
# Increment ?v=xxx to force browser to reload resource
mode: yaml
resources:
- url: /local/fan-card.js?v=0.0.5
type: module
I experienced some weird issues with the old javascript code remaining after I reloaded resources. After reading the documentation, it seems that changing the version forces a full reload in the browser. Thought this tip might be helpful to you and others!
There is some nice work here guys! I'm going to leave this issue open so that I can return to it later to review in more detail what's going on, but v0.0.8 has changed the way the pump switch works so that the default UI will go from "OFF" to "HI" and back when the switch is operated.
Also noticed that you folk were also getting a "key" not defined error ... irritatingly that was a syntax fault in the exception handler ... this ought to be fixed now and while it won't deal with the underlying problem, you ought to be able to see what the code was complaining about.
