Fan

Supporting Alexa fans would be amazing. Vornado makes a whole line of them that I'd love to have in HomeKit.

Jeff Byrnes: can you please upgrade the plugin to the latest version (2.0.1), enable debug in the plugin settings, and share the following output:
[date time] [HomebridgeAlexaSmartHome] <your device name here> ::: Current state: [
...
]
[date time] [HomebridgeAlexaSmartHome] <your device name here> ::: Range capabilities: [

Thanks!

In case it's still helpful, here's the info from my Vornado Transom AE.

Have you been able to add fan speed control or is that still being worked on? I have an Atomi ceiling fan and the on/off plus the light with RGB all shows up in Homekit and works just fine with your plugin now just trying to figure out how to get fan speed control and reverse direction too. Thanks!

Hi Joey Hage, I'm interested in the same thing, support for a Transom AE fan.
Running v2.2.1 of your plugin, I get these logs (had to reformat to save characters to stay under the post limit here)

The other part that wouldn't fit:

did you get the other functions working?

Tyler Epperson
Just picked up the Vornado TRANSOM AE window fan. On/Off works great but would love to see the plugin support the other functions of the fan (Auto, Fan Speed, Fan In/Exhaust, Temperature Adjust). Thank you for doing this! I can provide logs if needed.
Joey Hage
Tyler Epperson: If you are still interested, can you please upgrade to 2.2.0-alpha.5, turn on debug logging, and share the log output related to the fan? There have been some significant changes on Amazon's end so I need to revisit this.
T
Tyler Epperson
Joey Hage Sure thing! Anything in particular you need from the log? And what's the best way to get it to you. Not keen on posting a log publicly in case I miss anything sensitive.
Joey Hage
On/Off support has been added for fans

I too am trying to add a Vornado fan that is in my Alexa setup into HomeKit. I have the OSCR37 model. I have the v2.06 version of your plugin and when I start the plugin I am getting the following message:
[30/12/2023, 17:48:06] [HomebridgeAlexaSmartHome] Initialize Devices - UnsupportedDeviceError(Unsupported device: Bedroom Fan with type: FAN. Currently supported device types are: LIGHT,SWITCH,SMARTLOCK,SMARTPLUG,THERMOSTAT,ALEXA_VOICE_ENABLED,AIR_QUALITY_MONITOR,VACUUM_CLEANER.)
I have enabled the Debug logging in the plugin, but I'm not seeing any other information. Is there anything else I can provide to help?
Robert O'Leary
Same for me, have this awesome fan and would be amazing to get the fan into Homekit.
