Bond Fan - Set direction

I am trying to use RM to change the direction my fan spins. I have installed the Bond drivers and app. The fan is properly discovered and using the driver "Bond Fan with Direction". I can't t see the direction as an option in the RM actions, nor if I create a button. The only options I see are on/off and speed. I don't see it under custom actions either. How do I set direction of the fan?

There is a long thread about Bond Home Integration below that @dman2306 usually monitors. He can probably help you quicker if you make future posts in that thread but he's been tagged now in this one.

It should be a custom action. I will take a look tomorrow.

You need to select "Custom Attribute" and then then fan direction will be available as an option

The custom attribute is shown above is for the Trigger....I am not finding it as an Action

It should be there:

I didn't think of looking under Switch for the custom action! Thanks so much!

Mind if I was where you were looking? You have to choose a capability to get it to list devices. What capability were you choosing? Maybe there's something I can do to make it more obvious.

I have a curious scenario....If I use CURL as follows, I can change the direction of the Bond Fan between summer (down=1) and winter (up= -1)

curl -H "BOND-Token: ############" -i http://192.168.###.###/v2/devices/1/actions/SetDirection -X PUT -d "{"argument": 1}"

curl -H "BOND-Token: ############" -i http://192.168.###.###/v2/devices/1/actions/SetDirection -X PUT -d "{"argument": -1}"

I can set the direction to summer using the SetDirection(1) custom action in the BOND device.

However, trying to set the direction to winter using the SetDirection(-1) custom action does not seem to work...

Thoughts?

The command accepts a value of forward or reverse. Forward = 1, reverse = -1

SetDirection(-1) does not work for me....the fan does not switch to reverse

Please read my post directly above yours. The valid values are forward and reverse. -1 will not work.
