Fan Template for 4-Speed Fan

Configuration
,

Hi,
I’m totally newbie writing HA templates and I created the next script to use in a fan template entity. I tested the script and works fine changing the slider and executing it, but I don’t have idea how to pass the input_number like an argument to the script inside the fan template.

alias: Study fan speed action
sequence:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_number.study_fan_speed_selector
            state: '0.0'
        sequence:
          - choose:
              - conditions:
                  - condition: state
                    entity_id: switch.speed_1
                    state: 'on'
                sequence:
                  - service: switch.turn_off
                    target:
                      entity_id: switch.speed_1
              - conditions:
                  - condition: state
                    entity_id: switch.speed_2
                    state: 'on'
                sequence:
                  - service: switch.turn_off
                    target:
                      entity_id: switch.speed_2
              - conditions:
                  - condition: state
                    entity_id: switch.speed_3
                    state: 'on'
                sequence:
                  - service: switch.turn_off
                    target:
                      entity_id: switch.speed_3
              - conditions:
                  - condition: state
                    entity_id: switch.speed_4
                    state: 'on'
                sequence:
                  - service: switch.turn_off
                    target:
                      entity_id: switch.speed_4
            default: []
          - service: input_boolean.turn_off
            target:
              entity_id: input_boolean.study_fan_state
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_number.study_fan_speed_selector
            state: '25.0'
        sequence:
          - service: switch.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: switch.speed_1
          - service: input_boolean.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: input_boolean.study_fan_state
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_number.study_fan_speed_selector
            state: '50.0'
        sequence:
          - service: switch.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: switch.speed_2
          - service: input_boolean.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: input_boolean.study_fan_state
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_number.study_fan_speed_selector
            state: '75.0'
        sequence:
          - service: switch.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: switch.speed_3
          - service: input_boolean.turn_on
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: input_number.study_fan_speed_selector
            state: '100.0'
        sequence:
          - service: switch.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: switch.speed_4
          - service: input_boolean.turn_on
            target:
              entity_id: input_boolean.study_fan_state
    default: []
mode: single

and this other script:

alias: Study fan speed set
sequence:
  - service: input_number.set_value
    target:
      entity_id: input_number.study_fan_speed_selector
    data:
      value: '{{ percentage }}'
  - service: script.study_fan_speed_action
mode: single

And I need to pass the input_number value to create an entity fan with this code, but in not working:

  - platform: template
    fans:
      study_fan:
        friendly_name: "Ventilador Estudio"
        value_template: "{{ states('input_boolean.study_fan_state') }}"
        percentage_template: "{{ states('input_number.study_fan_speed_selector') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: script.study_fan_speed_set
          data:
            value: 25.0
        turn_off:
          service: script.study_fan_speed_set
          data:
            value: 0.0
        set_percentage:
          service: script.study_fan_speed_set
          data:
            value: "{{ percentage }}"
        speed_count: 4

What I’m doing wrong? Thanks.

I’ tried another implementation based on this post: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/help-new-template-fan-integration-percentage/286823/12?u=jjmuriel , but the error is the same.

I checked my code and I had a wrong input_number entity name. This is the fully working code:

Hi @jjmuriel I tried your lastest code but keeps giving me this error:Error executing script. Invalid data for call_service at pos 1: expected float for dictionary value @ data[‘value’].
I know you said that it was working for you but not for me. I even setup the helpers correctly but no luck. Regards

Hi,

This is my full code and now is working without any error:

Hi my config looks pretty the same as mine but my esp code is simpler :slight_smile:
I copied all your code and done the input number but the script called study fan speed set keeps giving me the error expects a float :frowning: I feel quite that I can’t make it work even when I full copied your code. Thanks anyway
