Dyson switch - Turned on, auto mode & speed selection

DrSpaldo · February 13, 2020, 9:02am

This is what I have ended up with: (all toggle buttons)

screenshot.2020-02-13

This is the code in lovelace I used:

        - type: glance
          title: Dyson Fan Control
          entities:
            - entity: switch.fanpower
              tap_action:
                action: toggle
            - entity: switch.fan_auto
              tap_action:
                action: toggle
            - entity: switch.fan_night
              icon: mdi:weather-night
              tap_action:
                action: toggle
            - entity: switch.oscillation
              tap_action:
                action: toggle

I made a switch for each mode and then refer to the switch in lovelace.

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:

Perfect! That is sooo useful! Here is my UI now.

If Dyson is off:

If Dyson is on:

DrSpaldo · February 14, 2020, 11:33pm

Oh nice, that looks good! Are you able to post yours as well? I might use some of it

mgim · February 15, 2020, 12:10am

Sure!

For the card:

    conditions:
      - entity: switch.dyson_fan_power
        state: 'on'
    type: conditional

input number for fan speed

# inputnumber to control dyson fan speed on UI
  dyson_fan_speed:
    name: Dyson fan speed
    min: 1
    max: 10
    step: 1
    icon: mdi:fan

and the related automations:

- id: '1581251639556'
  alias: Dyson fan speed controller
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: input_number.dyson_fan_speed
    platform: state
  condition: []
  action:
  - data_template:
      speed: '{{states(''input_number.dyson_fan_speed'')|int}}'
    entity_id: fan.dyson
    service: fan.set_speed
- id: '1581284638564'
  alias: Update Dyson UI controllers
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: fan.dyson
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  condition: []
  action:
  - data_template:
      value: '{{state_attr(''fan.dyson'', ''speed'')}}'
    entity_id: input_number.dyson_fan_speed
    service: input_number.set_value

There is maybe a way to improve the fan speed controller automation but it works for now.

DrSpaldo · February 15, 2020, 1:01am

Great, thanks @mgim . I was thinking of implementing the speed controller, making it an conditional entry and only displayed when the fan is not in auto mode. I will have a go at that

DrSpaldo · February 16, 2020, 6:16am

@mgim What do the id numbers do in the automation’s?

mgim · February 16, 2020, 10:40am

Nothing. They are automatically generated when using the configuration ui for automation

DrSpaldo · February 16, 2020, 12:54pm

Ah ok, thanks @mgim

So after looking at yours, now I have modified mine so that it shows the speed slider when it is turned on normal mode:

Then the slider goes away when it is turned on auto mode:

theboystu · August 28, 2020, 11:07am

New HA user here so please bear with me. I have managed to get the dyson fan integrated and can control via the lovelace card.

When I toggle AUTO it turns the switch off. How can I control AUTO/NIGHT via the lovelace card?

Do i have to create a switch to toggle the boolean auto_mode or night_mode ?

theboystu · August 28, 2020, 11:46am

switch:
  - platform: template
    switches:
      template_service_dyson_set_auto_mode_1:
        friendly_name: Bedroom Room Fan Auto Mode
        value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('fan.living_room', 'auto_mode', true) }}"
        turn_on:
          service: dyson.set_auto_mode
          data:
            entity_id: fan.bedroom
            auto_mode: true
        turn_off:
          service: dyson.set_auto_mode
          data:
            entity_id: fan.bedroom
            auto_mode: false

and created a lovelace card with


      - entity: fan.bedroom
        hold_action:
          action: more-info
        icon_height: 50px
        show_icon: true
        show_name: true
        show_state: true
        tap_action:
          action: call-service
          service: fan.set_auto_mode
          service_data:
            entity_id: fan.dyson_fan
            auto_mode: true
        type: button

When I toggle the button I get the error

Failed to call service/fan_set_auto_mode. Service not found

Hello DrSpaldo, could you show your code?

Thanks

DrSpaldo · November 29, 2020, 5:53am

@giangi007

Sorry for the delay, I am not getting post notifications. Which part were you after?

giangi007 · November 30, 2020, 6:57am

Ho DrSpaldo I’m interesting for lovelace card part. Thanks

SigNoget · November 30, 2020, 12:45pm

Hello,

I cannot make the Fan Speed Controller (slider) to change the actual speed on the fan.
It only shows the current fan speed, which is nice but not enough for me

I have set everything else up and that works like a charm.

I’ve tried this but that has no effect.

alias: DYSON - Fan speed controller
description: ''
trigger:
  - entity_id: input_number.dyson_fan_speed
    platform: state
condition: []
action:
  - data_template:
      speed: '{{states(''input_number.dyson_fan_speed'')|int}}'
    entity_id: fan.kokken
    service: fan.set_speed
mode: single

I’ve also tried this, as it seems like the Dyson.set_speed required the dyson_speed attribute. But still no luck.

action:
  - service: dyson.set_speed
    data:
      dyson_speed: '{{states(''input_number.dyson_fan_speed'')|int}}'
    entity_id: fan.kokken

Performing a call-service from developer tools with dyson.set_speed and dyson_speed: 5 DOES work… Just can’t make it work in the automation. Any ideas?

DrSpaldo · December 1, 2020, 10:07am

Do you have the input number set in your configuration.yaml?

input_number:
    dyson_fan_speed:
      name: Dyson fan speed
      min: 1
      max: 10
      step: 1
      icon: mdi:fan

You also need the automations that @mgim posted above.

SigNoget · December 1, 2020, 10:53am

Yes, I’ve done that. And it is able to show the current fan speed and updates if I change the speed in the Dyson Link app. So the input_number slider works.

The automation that should perform the action does not work for me:
From @mgim.

- id: '1581251639556'
  alias: Dyson fan speed controller
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: input_number.dyson_fan_speed
    platform: state
  condition: []
  action:
  - data_template:
      speed: '{{states(''input_number.dyson_fan_speed'')|int}}'
    entity_id: fan.dyson
    service: fan.set_speed

(Yes I have corrected the entity id to my own)

grace0728 · January 25, 2021, 3:45am

Did you solve this problem?
Add two more space in front of ‘entity_id: fan.dyson’ then this automation will work correctly.

SigNoget · January 25, 2021, 6:17am

I did manage to find a solution by using Node-RED but I wasn’t really satisfied with that. Haven’t really looked at it since but just tried to add a few more spaces… Of course that worked

Thanks for helping me out Chris.

drguild · February 6, 2021, 9:33am

I am completly new to Home Assistant but I would love to use a dyson card as above.
I know about the edit ui button and the cards list and entities being the valies thats about it.
So I would need to llearn how to do something like @DrSpaldo and @mgim
But no idea what I am meant to be doing with any configs apart from the dashboard editor.
