Turning on fans with only 1 on/off button (not triggered by speed options)

[borez]

Hi all,

Got a box fan with limited remote control options, being an on/off button, speed toggle (toggling between low/medium/high options), and an oscillate function. https://kdk.jp/product/sd30h

Tried creating a json code, but I can't seem to get the fan to turn on (from an off state). It seems that a "on" command triggers the fan speed option, which doesn't work for my fan.

Have created a "on" toggle within the json but it didn't work either.

Thanks!

have the same issue here, just wondering if you found a way to resolve it?

I have a fan which I have this same issue with, and I've been trying to understand the JSON structure to no avail.

My specific fan is a Yale Prima EFTF36B-LED (Stirling / ALDI). The remote looks like this.

The "Speed" button is a single command which increases the fan's speed. By default, when switched on the fan starts on low, and hitting the "Speed" button on the remote cycles through low/medium/high and then back to low. With my configuration as it stands I can get it switching the fan on/off and oscillating, but having issues getting it controlling the speed.

Bumping this since I have the same issue.
