I believe you that it's working for you and some other folks
Sadly, here's what my experience has been:
First off, this is a fantastic app/driver! Thank you!
I'm struggling to get this to turn on/off my fan. Can anyone please help or offer advice/suggestions? I want to be able to turn on the fan (not cooling, just the fan) using the driver. I can turn on the fan using the Nest app, and this driver can see that I've turned on the fan. But nothing I click on seems to turn the fan on.
Here's what the device page looks like when the AC is set to 'Cool' and the current temp is cooler than the set tem…
I'm not alone:

### The problem
About a month ago, the Nest integration’s fan and temperature c… ontrol stopped working. Oddly enough, the mode (i.e. heat/cool/eco/etc) still works. I tried completely deleting the Nest integration, and recreating the Google Cloud project. The situation didn't improve. The same Client ID/Secret works perfectly fine with the Google Assistant SDK integration.
Here is how I’m calling the fan, the GUI controls also don’t work:
```
- service: climate.set_fan_mode
data:
fan_mode: "on"
target:
entity_id:
- climate.firstfloor
```
I turned on debug logging, nothing obvious there. Just an entry showing the SDM API being called:
```

```
I reported this as well on the community forum, and looks like others are having the same issue: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/nest-fan-and-temperature-control-stopped-working/582424
My home has 3 gen2 Nest Thermostats and 7 gen2 Nest Protects.

Again, Fan mode for Nest Thermostats controlled via API works for some, but not for plenty of us (Google support tracking the issue):https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/290592590#comment19
Thanks everyone for your feedback! I'm leaning towards the Ecobee3 Lite because we already have a Netatmo for air quality in the room with thermostats, motion sensors, etc. but I've got a lot to think about and am grateful for the feedback.
