Please let me know when the new code is available. Thanks.
Do you think you can add reboot, so it can be scheduled in rm?
Out of curiosity and before I go get a raspberry for HA; has there been any advancements to the code to initiate an automated reboot sequence?
No changes
Appreciate the quick response
I went ahead and updated my driver on Github to add:
-
reboot
command - Support fan speeds 1 through 6 (Hubitat only supports 5 speeds, so both 3 and 4 map to "medium").
Please let me know what you think!
Thanks @bhamiltoncx — I've installed this and will test over the next few days. I currently have the reboot() capability scheduled to run every 6 hours. (This is a lot less klugey than what I had been doing — I had been interrupting power to the entire fan remotely for 45 seconds.)
This is great. I picked up two of these fans because of this. I have two installed on my patio and I am curious if there is any way to group two fans in hubitat? I am sure this is a strange use case but I figured I would ask.
Has anyone gotten this stable yet?
How’s it going?
I have a scheduled reboot() call using this driver, and so far so good — 6 days with no hard lockups.
Apparently I spoke too soon. This morning the fan controller was locked up again. I changed my reboot() call to 6x/day instead of 4x. Will see!
Apparently, home assistant fixed the problem and have an official integration now Modern Forms - Home Assistant
I wonder if it can be replicated
I'm looking at these fans... did this work out?
This is working great for me. At my request bhamiltoncx added a configuration to exclude the lighting child device if you don't have the light kit attached, and it works great. This driver is a bit noisy, so I reduced the poll interval to 1800 seconds, which works find for me since I only control the fan programatically.
On my fan medium-low driver setting maps to fan level 2 and medium maps to 4. Is that the intent? Is there any way to provide user-configurable speed mapping in the driver? I'm asking because level 3 is actually the ideal speed for me and I can't actually set the fan to level 3 with the driver (2 is a bit too slow and 4 is too fast in the winter). My fan is 6+ meters up in my cathedral ceiling, so level 1 barely does anything, and I would like to set the level mapping to 2-6 and eliminate 1. Thanks!
@bhamiltoncx - Scratch that. Right after I posted this, I had the revelation to change the mapping myself in the driver, so I did that to eliminate level 1. Still, a great update would be to add speed mapping to the config. Thanks again for this awesome work!
No worries! I'd have to think how to build a UI to make the mapping simple.
Hey There - I cannot find a way to schedule the rebot() command. Is this done in the Driver Code or are you using RM?
I use RM. I'm still getting occasional lockups; I soft reboot the controller 6x/day and hard reboot (2 minute power outage via a different switch) 1x/day.
