Has anyone got the Duux Whisper Flex Smart Fan integrated into HA?
Considering a purchase but not much info around.
Thanks

Got mine up and running with Tuya too!

Are you using the standard Tuya integration? I have just installed the standard Tuya integration and the whisper flexs are recognized. However, the only controls that can be used are the one/off switch and some sort of countdown (values 0 to 12). How did you manage to get the controls, as seen in the picture? TIA

Yes it was just standard Tuya.
you should be able to open the whisper fan in Home Assistant and control the speed and the mode - Natural/Sleep etc
The swing left to right and up and down doesn’t seem to work thru HA

Thanks, it works! I was using the Mushroom fan card. Apparently, other features are not displayed. Using a standard dashboard card, it does display more controls.

Good to know, and glad it works!

Actually I had another Duux Whisper Flex Smart fan delivered yesterday and that one doesn’t connect to Tuya at all. I was trying for hours. Turns out that it will only connect to the new Duux app. I’ve been talking to their tech support in Holland this morning and after I supplied the serial number I was told it would not work with Tuya. They didn’t offer any other further info at all. Not particularly helpful. Makes it dumb as far as I’m concerned so I am returning it.

I have an automation that controls the fan speed based on room temperature. I use netatmo temp sensor and Home Assistant controls the speed of the fans. It’s cool. The only downside of the automation is there is a lot of beeping throughout the day from the fans. I turn them to Sleep mode during the evening as the beeping is much quieter, not silent tho.

Mushroom card looks good tho with the speed bar.

If you like to share the “automation that controls the fan speed based on room temperature”, that would be awesome!

Yeah, sure.

  • I’m using two fans in the following automation.

  • I have a couple of input booleans - toggles so the automations can be turned off independently for each fan.

  • It only works if the fans are switched on and only between certain hours (0930-2359).

  • It only works if I am home.

  • I’m using a Netatmo weather station for the room temp sensor.

  • The Duux Whisper Flex fans have 26 speeds. Level 1 = 3% of fan speed Level 26=100%.

  • I start the lowest level at 20c and highest level at 30c.

That’s nice!

A pity that the horizontal / vertical swing modes do not work in HA, btw. I still need make use of the tuya app when I want to turn on or off the swing. This way, the added value of HA is questionable though (unless you’d automate stuff like you did).

This answer was over a year ago.

but I just bought a Duux Whisper Flex, assuming I could connect it via the Tuya integration.

Only the Tuya app does not recognize the fan at all. Anyone have any idea if I’m doing something wrong or if something has changed?

Also not able to add our new one to tuya, unfortunately :frowning:

I have the same issue. I’ve seen some discussions that there are two generations of the Fan. The initial version will be detected by Tuya apps, but the newer one will not.
I’ve given up trying to integrate it with Home Asssistant for now.

Just a little thread consolidation: Experience integrating Duux products? seems to have some possible solutions to Duux integrations
