Google Assistant sees Fanlinc as switch

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?

The fan can't be controlled via the mobile app. It can only be controlled by voice.

If the device has the fan icon, you are good to go.

You can ask the following:

     Turn on  <spoken>
     Turn off  <spoken>
     Set <spoken> to <Low|Medium|High>
     What's the speed of <spoken>

Google assistant and the home app do have issues with properly displaying a fan and with manual control. But voice control works perfectly.

My apologies.  I did just test the different speeds using voice control and it is working as expected.

 

Thanks again,
