GE Zigbee Light as Fan, in HomeKit

🛎️ Get Help Devices
1

Hello!

I recently purchased a GE Zigbee switch, this one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B019HTH2A0?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 and I am using it as an exhaust fan in my bathroom. It works fine, although I am a little disappointed at how slow it is when I press it, but oh well, but my real issue is hubitat thinks it's a light. It is a fan. Is there a way for me to tell hubitat it is a fan? At the very least for HomeKits integration where it also shows up as a fan there?

If not, does anyone know of any switches that CAN show up as a fan for the integration available in Canada for a reasonable price? Prefer zigbee, but could make z-wave work if necessary

You could add a virtual Fan Driver to Homekit and use an automation to to turn on/off the fan.

The less virtual devices I have, the better, simply because it starts to get clustered, but if nothing else will work, that is my plan.
