IR FAN (Dyson AM07) Harmony Full Control

AlmostSerious · September 21, 2017, 9:26pm

Hello, i wanted to include my Dyson Fan into HASSIO. Initially i thought about opening it up, and connecting an arduino to it… but i’m too chicken to try it out… fear of breaking and lack of knowledge…

So, i tried to include it into HASSIO using my Harmony Bridge. It took some time to figure it all out, but im very happy with the function right now.

It basically gives you 2 Sliders (1 for Speed, 1 for Timer) & 2 Switches (1 for Power, 1 for Oscilliate)
I tried to copy the functionality and logic of the original remote with several automations.
For example: You can turn on the Fan by just pressing oscillate button. Or by just pressing Fan Up button. This is all represented now and for now i have not found a breaking issue

Functions:

Turn on Fan via Slider or Switch (Fan automatically goes to the desired Level)
Turn On / Off Ocillation (Power On is toggled as well from Off state)
Adjust Speed
Turn Off via Slider or Button (The Fan will always go down to 1 first, and then turn off)
Timer is not using the built in Dyson Timer, but actually a more flexible Timer builtin Hassio

I’d like to add a countdown timer as well so you can see how much time is left… But so far every attempt has failed. Any ideas welcome

However, it requires you to ditch the remote, as this is IR based, and cannot report outside states into HASSIO.

This is how it looks right now:

As I am still very much new to HASSIO, have no coding experience and am constantly wondering why something works or doesnt work… i’d be very happy for some good advice on how to streamline all of these below:

So this is what you need to do to copy it:

Great idea! I’m going to give this a try this weekend. Thanks for sharing!!

Finally was able to add the desired timer
Mainly using the idea of tboyce1 Stopwatch. Slightly modifiying it, and using a 3rd Sensor to display the remaining time in minutes.

So I took the general idea but decided to modify to make a much simpler implementation. This version requires just 2 scripts, and 2 automations. Also uses a default fan speed when turning the switch on. I didn’t include a timer, as I never use that feature myself.

EDIT: latest version has a breaking change from input_slider to input_number. Updated with change.

Input_Number:

  dyson_fan_speed:
    name: Fan Speed
    icon: mdi:fan
    min: 0
    max: 10
    step: 1

Input_Select (for default speed):

  default_fan_speed:
    name: Default Fan Speed
    icon: mdi:speedometer
    options:
      - 1
      - 2
      - 3
      - 4
      - 5
      - 6
      - 7
      - 8
      - 9
      - 10

Switch Template:

  dyson_fan_power:
    value_template: "{{ states('input_number.dyson_fan_speed') | int > 0 }}"
    turn_on:
      service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.dyson_on
    turn_off:
      service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.dyson_off

My Dyson AM08 - works with harmony perfecty to do the initial turn-ON or any other intial command. It i received by Dyson .

But the OFF command (or any second command) is being ignored… It only works when I bring Dyson right next to harmony or its own remote for that matter. And need to point EXACTLY at the base of it. Only then it turns off.

So the first command works with pointing the remote vaugly in any direction and harmony can turn it on as well from the corner of the room, but off only works with exact pointing…

did anybody experience the same issue?

AlmostSerious · October 10, 2017, 6:27am

Yes same for me. The On command is easily recognized. All the other require close proximity. What works well are the small ir externer you can Plug into the Hub

Jer78 · October 10, 2017, 4:28pm

My hub happens to be very close to the fan and maybe that’s the reason I have no problems with it. Maybe it needs a delay in between commands?

AlmostSerious · October 10, 2017, 4:44pm

Even the original remote only works if you point it directly at the sensor on the bottom of the fan, and you are at least 2-3meters close to it…

Romquenin · January 22, 2018, 12:37pm

Hello Jer78, i would like if ti’s possible to adapt your Dyson automation from the IR to Wifi command.

I tried to do it myself but of course from the “data_template” line nothing’s working.

I can set the fan speed from the dev tools Dervice Data with this kind of command(working from 1 to 10, 0 don’t turn off the fan):

{
  "entity_id": "fan.salon","speed":"5"
}

How could i adapt this kind of command to your automations?

Here are my settings:

Thank you

@Romquenin

So for the Wifi connected fans, it should be much easier to do. Without having one myself, I can’t test this, but this should work.

Input Number (since there’s a power on/off function, we won’t need the 0 setting)

  dyson_fan_speed:
    icon: mdi:fan
    name: Speed
    min: 1
    max: 10
    step: 1

We will need 2 different automations. One to update the fan and the other to update the input_number. Let’s try this first with templates in the automation but if it doesn’t work, we may need to make template sensors instead.

 - alias: "Dyson Fan Speed From Input Boolean"
   initial_state: on
   trigger:
     - platform: state
       entity_id: input_number.dyson_fan_speed
   condition:
     condition: and
     conditions:
       - condition: template
         value_template: '{{ (trigger.to_state.state | int) != (states.fan.salon.attributes.speed|int) }}'
   action:
     - service: fan.set_speed
       entity_id: fan.salon
       data_template:
         speed: '{{states.input_number.dyson_fan_speed.state|int}}'

 - alias: "Dyson Fan Speed From Component"
   initial_state: on
   trigger:
     - platform: template
       value_template: '{% if (states.fan.salon.attributes.speed|int) != (states.input_number.dyson_fan_speed.state|int) %}true{%endif%}'
   action:
     - service: input_number.set_value
       entity_id:  input_number.dyson_fan_speed
       data_template:
         value: '{{states.fan.salon.attributes.speed|int}}'

Jer78 it works perfectly fine, you are amazing!!

Thank you very much again for sharing your knowledge, i will learn from this code and post my config for the other users.

Merci beaucoup!

Jer78 · January 22, 2018, 8:58pm

@Romquenin You’re quite welcome. Glad to be of assistance!

Hi @AlmostSerious
Thanks for your share!!
But can you help me convert it to RF fan with command boardlink_send??

AlmostSerious · February 4, 2018, 12:41pm

Hi CloudHoang,

i’m not sure how the Broadlink is working within home assistant, as i do not have this device. However, you should be all set by just changing the “ACTION” part from Harmany to your Broadlink Device command.
So instead of telling Harmony to “press the button” FanSpeedUp 4 times, you just tell it to your Broadlink device. All the others steps should be the same.

CloudHoang · February 4, 2018, 2:26pm

Hi @AlmostSerious
Thanks for you reply.
I not sure but I can control via boardlink as the command below:

sequence:
  - service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_137_84
    data:
      packet: #send a packet
        - "JgBAAGkAA..."

Base on your code… I can change with there line below?

Am I right???
Thanks!

CloudHoang · February 4, 2018, 5:07pm

HI @Jer78
Thanks for your modified code…
However, my apologize, I dont know how to user your code.
Can you help me like the 1st topic of @AlmostSerious did…

Thanks

Jer78 · February 5, 2018, 5:13am

@CloudHoang I’m not familiar with Broadlink either. What commands would you send? Is this the component?

CloudHoang · February 5, 2018, 6:22am

Hi @Jer78

I just need help about the code only
Because I new on this so I dont know where to input yr code…
I tried it but most of time I got error

Jer78 · February 5, 2018, 8:18pm

@CloudHoang But I can’t help if I don’t know what this component is or does. I’d suggest you first get the commands working in a script and then paste them here. After that we can assemble them. But without knowing how or what this Broadcom Switch does I can’t help.

CloudHoang · February 6, 2018, 7:25am

Hi @Jer78…
Thank for your help

I has tried to add your custom code last night but still not work.
On HA show me that the switch config is wrong. need to check again.

Base on your code, I can change the script as below to control my device via Boardlink

Most of time I can control with this

  - service: switch.broadlink_send_packet_192_168_137_84
    data:
      packet: #send a packet
        - "packet code"
