Hi. Rookie here trying to learn…
Is there a way for me to connect my smart bathroom fan to home assistant?
It is an alexa device and can be controlled via an app or through alexa.
I don’t mind if the solution is integrating alexa into Home Assistant or if I have to develop a custom integration. I just need some guidance on where to start and hopefully some links to tutorials…
I’ve got one of these also. Currently I use the homewerks skill in Alexa and then the HA Alexa integration to control that. Definitely not ideal and the light and fan periodically become unresponsive in Alexa. I also tried using an RF blaster to send commands to simulate the wall switch but they appear to use rolling codes. It seems like the speaker portion is separate from the light and fan as I never lose contact with the speaker in Alexa or HA.
I got a bond IR/RF blaster to control the other fans in the house and this is the only one I cant seem to capture the signal on. I suspect its because as @Litwi008 stated, they are using rolling codes…
Will try to integrate alexa and bring into HA through there.
After over a year, I figured out the simplest and somewhat obvious solution. The Homewerks fans are Tuya devices. You can add the device inside the Tuya app and then use the HA add on to pull in the fan. So simple and works great.
Hey, no one’s using the switch that came with it, right? Sorry, I’ve already installed it. I’m just trying to figure out how to turn it off and on three times really quickly. When I do it nothing happens. If I hold down the fan switch for 8 seconds it does reset to factory settings
The version I have isn’t supported by the switch, so mine just uses a standard switch. You’ll need to figure out how to put the device in Pairing mode. For mine it’s by turning it on and off 3 times, but yours may be different.
Mine was not a tuya device. I tried all of the suggestions above to no avail. I’m strongly considering getting rid of this fan as the alexa integration breaks often…
