Okay, I think I understand now and I really appreciate all your help. It sounds like you’re saying my options are:
-
Return them and get different fans.
-
Flash to Tasmota if the onboard WiFi chip is able to be flashed and from there I could add as a WiFi device to HE and control it like any other WiFi device on my network.
-
Use the HomeBridge plugin to present non-HomeKit compatible devices to directly into HomeKit bypassing my HE entirely, but at least giving me control once I’m completely migrated off Alexa and locked into a HomeKit /Hubitat ecosystem.
-
Use the user created, custom Tuya Cloud driver to interact directly with the chip in the fan via HE’s WiFi antenna without having to flash to Tasmota, which if it works would give me everything I want, but I’d be reliant on the cloud instead of local control and there’s no official support other than this community.
Oooph.
Okay, stuff to think on how much time I want to spend on it with everything else going on in life right now. I guess I could always just leave an echo dot in the rooms with fans lol hell no 
Gonna go check that device compatibility list to see if there’s any affordable, non-ugly ceiling fans I could swap in with less effort, but I will take a stab at attempting to flash with Tasmota before returning them as soon as I figure out how to do that and I might play with HomeBridge too. Although at first glance it wasn’t pulling me in as how I want this to work.
Thank you again, really appreciate it!
