How do you use the Virtual Fan Controller?

Yep. I have about 10 Iris outlets scattered throughout.

If this was working ok for you, would you mind sharing it here?

Sure, not much to it, and built only for the one fan I am fooling with now.

Subsequently, I also made some edits to the device driver posted here to provide 4-speed support (target dimmer set points for each of the 4 speeds, as well as the default 3 speed setpoints). That's working well, although I didn't add a capability.fanControl to the device driver. The app provides a bridge between a virtual fan controller device (which of course has "capability.fanControl"), and a dimmer device. Then one can manipulate the virtual fan controller via selection of the named speed settings.

The FanController 'proxy' app code can be found here.

Could you please share your Virtual Fan Controller driver ?

Sure, I must have removed it from GitHub, I’ll re-post it there by this evening and update the link.
