Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

nothing in the log

Additional information

the slider might turn the fan from off to on, but only when sliding to the far right. moving it to low speed doesnt work.

In fact, it often seems to block the full communication with the Trafdri Bridge altogether, and might be related to other issues in this integration.No proof yet, suspicion raised though…

Same problem here. Add a 👍 on this post if you are affected too.

What do you need for further debugging. I’m willing to provide all needed information.

My guess is, if I toggle the switch it doesn’t send a speed info along and is therefore ignored. Maybe using “Auto” as a default value would be a good idea, but I’m not sure if I’m able to configure such a default value in HA (couldn’t find a way).

link this issue in the template so we can follow. right, you did. never mind, we crossposted. sorry bout that

I’m currently working on a PR 😉
