Ok so I have my input_number. Let’s assume I’m able to figure out how to create the automation I need for a specific speed.
How do I tie that into a slider? That’s the part im having the most trouble with
Automation Basics
UI Automation Editor
Automation YAML
There are many ways to do what you want in an automation. Based on what you have posted, one way to do it would be something like the following… (make sure you insert the values for the commands in the variables section)
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_number.fan_slider
for: "00:00:02"
condition: []
action:
- variables:
vol_level: "{{ trigger.to_state.state | float(0) }}"
command: >
{% if vol_level == 0 %}
{% elif vol_level > 80 %}
6
{% elif vol_level < 40 %}
{% else %}
{% endif %}
- service: remote.send_command
data:
device: cigar_fan
command: "{{ command }}"
target:
entity_id: remote.wi_fi_universal_remote_remote
My God you solved it for
Me . I’m literally nauseous I’ve been working on this for so long lol
Thank you.
Happy to help… FWIW, you can probably lower the for: on the trigger to 1 second instead of 2. Having a for: defined helps keep the automation actions from executing too often when you are using the slider to change the value, but there’s always a balance to figure out between how “bouncy” and how “laggy” you are willing to have an automation act.
Cool cool thanks again

Hey would you be able to show me your mushroom card code for this? Trying to do the exact same thing but struggling to figure out how I can have my 5 speed DC fan controlled via Broadlink use the slider

Hello. Disregard the restriction card part. It’s an exhaust fan that I can’t hear from a certain part of my house so I have this to prevent me from turning it on by accident.
Thanks so much James - keen to give this a try tonight
Happy to help 
Hey James,
I’ve replaced ‘script.cigar_fan_off’ to ‘script.master_fan_power’ (because that’s my RF script for fan power)
and removed the top stuff re exhaust fan, however while I’m not getting errors in code, I’m just getting a blank mushroom card when I save it. Did you do anything else outside of creating the mushroom fan card to get this to work?
Did you create the input_number entity, under helpers? That’s the only thing I can think of that will be preventing this from working aside from a typo.
Oops. No, thanks!
Ok, Ive now got the slider working and my input_number.fan slider automation set up, however every time I move the slider on my dashboard i get an error of: failed to call service fan/set percentage
is the percentage slider now deprecated with an update HA? or its more likely Ive got something wrong
So I have separate scripts for each of my fan speeds. Needed to do that because it’s RF and I’m using the BroadLink hub. So I set up automations one for each range.
Example: when slider is 1-17%, trigger script 1, which is the first fan speed.
See if that info helps you. I’m not exactly sure what your setup is.
