@kramttocs, @jf-navica Thanks for the input! I found the problem now, this will be fixed in Home Assistant Core 2023.11.0 👍

the actions to Increase / Decrease the fan speed aren’t present

There’s no such device action for fans, there’s only turn on, turn off and toggle, so that’s expected 👍

@joostlek Please reopen this issue as it’s a valid defect. While the service approach works, the Device action should also work. I am seeing this with a Treatlife DS03 fan/light combo switch. The Device actions for the lights work as expected whereas the fan generates the error in this ticket.
