How Can I add Button to Add control/Switch Operation modes (auto, silent, favorite, idle)

easwaran83 · June 29, 2018, 7:33am

Hi,
I am new to Home assistant
I managed to add Xiaomi Air purifier 2 to HA successfully!!
I am able to ON & OFF the device using Home Assistant UI
I want to add a button(s) to change the Operation Mode of the Xiaomi Air purifier 2 in Home assistant for which I have created Input select options with modes ‘Auto’, ‘Silent’, ‘Favorite’
Now I have the following issues.

I am Not able to trigger the Mode change from any options that are selected in Input select.
The automation is not able to call the service FAN.SET_SPEED
As per documentation , I understand we can call the following
Fan speed. Valid values are ‘Auto’, ‘Silent’, ‘Favorite’ and ‘Idle’
But am not able to call that service.
Can we have Input select options as radio button or slider instead of a drop-down list?
Please guide me
Thanks in advance

Why not?

You should be able to, why aren’t you able to?

Works like a Charm. Thanks a bunch

Few Questions:

Can we have Input select as Radio Buttons ?
Now it’s by default its Drop down only
I see you have added binary_sensor.door_window_sensor , which I understand as generic 433Mhz Door sensor.
How did you manage to add that to Home assistant? Any Tutorial link?
Thanks in advance

nickrout · June 30, 2018, 5:19am

looks like a xiaomi sensor to me (from the default name it has been given).

kiwijunglist · June 30, 2018, 5:28am

setup an automation using trigger, platform state, input_select
then you can change fan when input_select changes state
