Does anyone have any idea what the number and sensor entities for the Jasco 14287 Fan switches are for? They showed up at some point and I can’t figure out what they do.
The number entity does nothing when adjusted as far as I can see and the sensor entity state is always unavailable.
The number entity represents Basic CC Set / Get capability. Every actuator device is required to support Basic CC, but the driver normally hides it. The only reason it’s exposed is because these devices are configured to support double taps and that’s just a side effect. You can disable it. The functionality is the same as the fan entity, it controls the fan speed.
The sensor entity was the previous read-only version of the Basic CC value, which was replaced by the number entity. You can delete that one.
