HS-FC200+ Fan Controller - 4th speed?

Homeseer has released its FC200+ fan controller. I installed it and it seems to work fine - except for only getting 3 speeds. I have an old hunter fan that had the harbor breeze fan / light controller which would vary the voltages to give 4 speeds. Since I had an unused spot in the junction box I added a separate dimmer for the ceiling fan light. I wish someone would make a zwave version of the harbor breeze switch.. but I digress..

The homeseer fan controller has the 4th speed (medium high) disabled by default. Someone posted on the homeseer fan controller product page in a review that " Note, if you are using Smartthings, you will need the latest device handler. I had a previous version and it couldn't set parameters for led color or status. Also, I don't know why they ship the fan control with only 3 speeds activated but it can be updated to have 4 speeds. I knew nothing about and have never used the groovy programming language in Smartthings but I was able to edit the device handler to add the speed option."

Can this be done in hubitat? and while I am at it.. is there a tutorial to explain how to use the device edit page? I figureed out on / off, etc.. but what does configure do? or set status led? I see this type of page on lots of devices, but cant figure out what some one the butons do?!

Darby,
I'm sorry I can't be of any help here because I don't know about programming either. I would like to say that I also would like 4 speed support and also the set status LED option for these fan controllers. I had been waiting on Homeseer to release these and will be purchasing these for all the fans in my house if there's a supporting driver for these 2 features. I love the set status LED option for the Homeseer dimmers. I have it set so all my dimmer LEDs Turn red when my alarm is on and then Turn green when its disarmed.

Giving this a bump, I'm not versed in groovy programming either but would love it if someone far smarter than me would convert Darwin's Den FC200+ DC from Smartthings.

way above my paygrade.,.. for sh*ts and giggles I put that code into the driver code section app.. and it blew up :slight_smile:

Quick follow up on how I solved my problem with the 1 switch - I ended up cutting the single gang out and putting in an old work 2 gang box by using the traveler wire to the dimmer on the the left.. the right is the fan dimmer - with only 3 speeds :slight_smile: Left is a Homseer 100 dimer and right is the 200 fan controller

Decent drywall work for a hack :slight_smile: kind of pissed as my self for gouging


the new drywall after painting it.. looked great before I messed it up

Get some spackle at the home store and then work it to match the texture--but even if you just filled in the gouge it would look a lot better :wink:

Already done
. Just haven't updated the pic
