Not able to control the fan speed.

Thanks for you all! You did an amazing job on building this plugin and I used it on my midea portable air conditioner.

But right now it is unable to control the fan speed, thus it will automatically set it to AUTO even though I manually set it to LOW before. I hope you are already working on it.

And do NOT forget to take care of yourself during this hard time.

Thank you, I‘m working on some stuff, check out the development branch if you‘re up for buggy stuff :)

I gonna have a try but I am new at HOOBS. I am still reading the document on HOOBS website.

So I have a few questions about your project:

I didn't actually find the fan-speed modifier method. I can only find a rotation-fan-speed but it seems like the rotation speed for some specific devices instead of the fan speed for all AC. So do you have one?

Plus, I'm curious that whether you have a file referring the graphic user interface shown in HomeKit detail page. Are all the graphic user interfaces fixed in the API given by HOOBS? I'm looking for customize it lol.

You can't really customize the detail view of a HomeKit accessory. The only thing you can do is expose different services with specific characteristics.

Also, if there's any way you can help the project (find out more about the Midea API, find out where/how to register for an API token and or get documentation in English/translate it from Chinese), it would be very much appreciated.
