If I want turn the fan OFF, I just ask GH to turn it OFF. If I want the fan to be at one of the 3 pre-set levels of ON, then I ask GH to put the fan at XX %, knowing that in fact any % below 34 % is lowest speed, between 34 and 66 % it is at the middle speed, and between 67 and 100 % it goes to the fastest speed.

Jimbo.Automates Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 If the fan is on high and I say *turn on x fan low" it works, but medium and high don't work even though GH says it's being changed.Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

ISY/GH now supports fans. In ISY Portal, edit the device, and just change the GH type to "Fan". All you need to do is: - Create the device, and chose the GH Category "Fan" (You can also edit your existing fan exposed as a light) - Click Send Spokens to Google Home (Or sync by asking GH) - Tests the vocal requests    Turn on <fan>    Turn off <fan>    Set <fan> to Low|Medium|High   What's the speed of <fan> (Should return Off|Low|Medium|High) This should work well with a fanlinc. If you have another sort of fan, your mileage may vary. Benoit Quote Link to comment

bmercier Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Can you test the values match the speed? Does setting it to 99 make it run at medium speed? Does setting it to 100Â make it run at high speed? I could not test with a real fanlinc, so I relied on this: https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/12477-fanlinc-rest-api/?do=findComment&comment=102016 Benoit Quote Link to comment

asbril Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I just realized that you are using an Insteon device. My comments are about my Zwave setup. This works perfectly with GH but of course I need to use separate devices for Fan and Fan, Light, unlike Insteon. Quote Link to comment

It sees it as an on off switch, so not sure how anyone is able to set to different percentages. I just get On or off. But Google assistant will reply that they set the setting. Quote Link to comment

It's an easy change, but I'm wondering if this may be firmware dependant. Which version are you using? 5.x? Benoit Quote Link to comment

thtguy Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 so how are you testing this? I can't change percentages for my fanlinc. In the Home App the fan icon has no controls available for manual intervention unlike all my lights and switiches. when I use Google Assistant it only shows me the fan as a on off switch (again no percentage dimmer space). seems this thread was hijacked. Do I just need to set my fanlinc as a light? Quote Link to comment
