Also, post your firmware versions. I really hope modernforms didn’t push out a new version that blocks local access
On the same network, there’s a slash through the cloud symbol only.
Firmware for fan: 01.03.0018
App version: 1.0.11
Controlled easily through Alexa. Just not Hass.
Im on the same firmware, but i can easily make http requests to it.
Have you tried cutting the power to it and let it reconnect? Maybe the controller is stuck
what’s the format / methodology for an http request?
the power reboot will have to await the weekend. Thanks again.
Nope. Rebooting the fan through the app and cutting/restoring power to the fan didn’t make a difference.
Not sure what else could be the issue. Seems you have no local access to the fan, or maybe its a different port? can you try accessing from a different computer/device?
try to see if port 80 is open on the fan’s ip
Thanks again. I’ll report back if I make any progress.
Progress! It works if in configuration.yaml I use my loopback dynamic dns address and forward a port instead of using my local address. I’ll take it!..although I’d like to know why.
So Jim, thank you again both for sharing your integration and for assisting.

Thanks for sharing! Worked first try on my Modern Forms Wynd 42 Fan!

Great Integration! Worked like champ. How do you display in UI with speed control for fan? I can get the fan to display, but have to click in to set speed. Just wondering what everyone is using
Thanks @jimpastos for your integration. For anyone who wants a more compact fan card, I modified some code by another user to work with the six speeds of the modern forms fan.

FYI, WAC Lighting, the parent company of the Modern Forms brand has started producing new fans under the “WAC Smart Fan” brand. These fans use the same API as the Modern Forms fans, except it is initially locked behind an in-app purchase.
After connecting your fan to the network and making the additional in-app purchase, @jimpastos’s custom component will work with the WAC Smart Fans.
Jim:
Thanks for the component. I am working on the interface card now. Might you share your yaml code?

I had the component working for a bit and then it spit out the error below. This may have been a coincidence but around this general time, my wife tried to turn the fan on (from the wall control) and called down the stairs that my fancy new fan was not working!

Did you manage to fix this?
You Fan’s IP probably changed (not 192.168.86.50 anymore). You should mark is as static on your router
My router assigns a fixed IP.
I was able to get things to work, but the CAUSE is the question. It looks like my wall control for the fan just goes off line from time to time. While I was working with your custom component (I was using tscibilia’s lovelace control) it seemed to fall off every day. I would pull the airgap on the wall control or toggle the circuit breaker for the fan for 30 seconds and it would reconnect immediately. Several searches of the log would show messages stating too many queries of the fan IP (sorry I did not save those!).
I will keep you informed. And thanks again.
It has been running for a whole day without having to reboot the wall control.
And thanks for the component!

Any plans to add HACS support for this integration ?

Jim:
I have your modern forms component running on 4 fans at home. All have IPs assigned by my Google mesh router. All fans have local and `Net access (WiFi and cloud access icons appear on the app). One or more fans continue to report the below error. When I ping the fan from the command line (especially when traffic has been quiescent for a while) the first response is slow (lengths up to 580ms). See below:
Reply from 192.168.86.50: bytes=32 time=586ms TTL=255

Reply from 192.168.86.50: bytes=32 time=80ms TTL=255
I wonder of the error comes from the component being impatient asking for the response.
Here is the error again, it appears randomly with multiple fans:
