Issue with Custom Color for Fan Dashboard Template

I seem to be having a problem setting a custom colored background on the Fan template. Honestly I don't know if this issue existed prior to the new update or not as I had not tried to do it.

If you create a custom background color for the Fan template for the On condition, the background color does not change:

Here is what I have in the template:

  "customColors": [
    {
      "template": "fan",
      "bgColor": "rgba(33,150,243,1)",
      "iconColor": "",
      "customIcon": "",
      "state": "on"
    }

The background color can be changed for the Off state.

Don't know if because it displays the speed setting and not On, that is what is not letting it change the color or not. Any ideas?

@patrick, instead of the on/off state for background colors, is there a way to designate non-off to allow the color to change?

I have my Dashboard setup but my OCD is in overdrive because I cannot change the fan template to a custom color when the fan is on.

This will be fixed in an upcoming hotfix

@patrick, I'm also suffering from a case of OCD with the fan template. Feature Request Warning!
Would it be possible to turn on helper text per tile? I have it turned off because I already use background color to show device states. With the fan template, I have no way to know the fan speed.
A background color or icon option per fan speed would also be an ok compromise for me.

Pretty please...with sprinkles on top...and a side of fries. :grin: :crossed_fingers:

Thank you sir. I saw your post in another thread.

@patrick, I noticed with the latest update that I can now set background color and icon per fan speed now. Truly appreciate the HE team's willingness to add requested features.

P.S. was it the sprinkles or fries that motivated the change..just so I know for next time?

I see that the last post for this issue was from 2019... I just purchased a Hubitat Hub recently and have been setting up my Dashboards and came across this bug today. There is definitely an issue still with the Fan background colors and states. I can get the Off state background and icon color to change, but I cant get the On state or any of the speed states to work/change the color. If I click on an On state that has a color, that color then is displayed on every other state unless I close the modal and reopen it. I also cant remove a color after I change/add it. I have to go into the Advanced and remove the attribute from the JSON.

Also, one small request... can a down/on-click state for the Save button (on the template editor modal) be added so that a user knows that the input has been received, as most other buttons the platform work?
