Add fan devices support to WiZ integration

Feature Requests
1

Hi there,
It seems a good number of ceiling fans available in Europe are using the WiZ protocol (e.g. https://faro.es/en/ceiling-fan/). I’m using one of those as a way to optimize energy usage all along the year (heating in winter and cooling in summer) by circulating the air in a big room. Currently controlling the fan with a remote which does not allow to drive it with various HA sensors and bind it to the A/C system.

The current WiZ integration does not support the full semantics of the protocol and I would be glad to support development with some data from my device.

Thanks for your help !

Hi,

I’ve prototyped a WizFanEntity class that works well with my Faro devices (all attributes: state, speed, mode and reverse). It’s my first time coding with Python and had to work with genAI side by side so I don’t feel comfortable to propose a PR without having a conversation with @Sbidy first, but I don’t know how to DM him :sweat_smile:.

BR.

Hey asneyap,

thats great! I’ve been this for myself, unfortunately only with limited success. Is there any way you could share it with me?

Thanks!

Hi @turnisan, I would love to do it but don’t want to expose my email here. Is there anyway to DM in this community?

That would be amazing! We could move this to discord. Can you write me a DM @turnisan ?

I recently bought such a fan and will make a PR to support it in Home Assistant.

Hi dude,

I already shared the component with you in discord. Let me know if you test it.

Hi Asneyap, I have 4 Faro fans integrated with Wiz, and they are the only devices I haven’t been able to integrate into my Home Assistant. Would you mind sharing the plugin so I can run some tests? Many thanks in advance.

BTW do you guys got a remote with your fans? Because I got one, but for some reason it doesn’t fully work, most buttons don’t do anything. Do any of you have the same problem?

I will prepare a PR soon as the author does not read this thread.

I just got a Faro fan as well and would love to get it into HA. Happy to help if there’s anything I can do (testing, coding, etc.).

This should be available in Home Assistant 2025.8.

I just got 2 Wiz Faro fans and I’m quite disappointed with the lack of possibilities to integrate it with HK @asneyap looking forward to your solution, I’m in the return window, and that kind of depends if I can get it to work.

If I may ask, what’s the ETA? Thank you.

Do you have source for that? I can’t find anything

I got knowledge straight from the source. :wink:
