Evening all.
Quick question, maybe I’m missing something. I installed a Hampton Bay fan w/ Hubspace support yesterday, got the Hubspace app installed on my phone and got the fan paired up. Works great via my phone.
Now to get it working in HA. I added the customer HACS repo. Updated my config w/ username & password. Restarted HA. I now have a separate entity for the fan and the light. (light.ceiling_fan and light.ceiling_light).
The when I bring them up from the entities list the fan shows as a slider w/ an on/off toggle. The slider does not have any effect, though I can toggle the fan on and off. It will always just toggle on/off to the last speed setting that was set in the app or via the fan’s hardware remote.
The light shows as a simple toggle, but won’t control the light’s state in any way. No toggle on or off of any kind.
So I put a simple toggle card on my dashboard:
type: entities
entities:
- entity: light.ceiling_fan
name: Fan
- entity: light.ceiling_light
name: Light
title: Livingroom Fan and Light
Doesn’t get any more simple than that. Same results. If I toggle the fan off in the Hubspace app, the card reflects that pretty quickly. If I toggle it back on, it takes a little while (~45 seconds to a minute) to be reflected on the card. Faster response would be great, but at least it updates reliably. I can toggle the fan on and off using the toggle on the card as well. So we’re good there.
The light is a different story. I can toggle the light on w/ the app and the card updates pretty quickly. If I toggle it back off in the app the card takes quite a while to update (regularly over a minute). And the biggest issue, I can’t toggle the state of the light using the card. If the light is on and the card reflects that and I toggle it off, it will bounce back to on after a second or 2. The opposite is true if the light is off and I toggle it on, the card just bounces back to off.
I just wanted to get this basic on/off functionality working before I worry about getting sliders/dimmers working for the light level and fan speed.
Anyone run into anything similar?
