Hi mjoshd,
I seen the post above but how do I access those files when I am running hassio (docker)?
I don’t use the 4 button customization so I can’t speak to how it is configured. As for the files mentioned in my post on the wiki entry, they are in the /config directory and are in the same place where you added the config for the iFan02 already.
I use Hass.io on HassOS (rPi3). If you are using another host OS then you can enable an addon (Configurator, Samba, IDE, etc.) that will let you access the files without having to dig through the host OS (make sure you secure it according to the docs).
If you need more help/information about editing .yaml files, check here: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/
was just about to ask about a lovelace card, but found this:
Thanks, could you guide me on how to set this up? Which file needs which config?
Automation and switches i get that, but the rest?
Kind regards
I got everything to work, except one thing - my off button does not turn blue when i turn off the fan and whatever speed was last stays blue instead. didn’t have much time to dig deeper, but if someone knows how to fix that, please let me know, so i don’t spent time troubleshooting it.
thank you!
I had the same problem at first.
See this to see how to fix it:
read from there down and you’ll see the conversation about it.
Does anyone know if the remote that comes with the IFan02 can be used after flashing to Tasmota? In order to make this “wife-approved” I need it to work with a standard remote as well.
i flashed and remote working perfectly after that. so - yes.

I even forgot to pair the remote before flashing and I was worried that I screwed it up but it paired exactly as it should after I flashed it.

Hi
hassio noob here, have several (7) ifan02’s running off hass, and they’re working great, even better now I have the automation setup to get their state upon restart of hass. Thanks to all in this thread and elsewhere!
I have the home assistant cloud service (subsription, not manual) running also, and am able to turn fans off (and fans lights on and off) via google assistant, but not able to turn any of them on. I have no idea where to start with customising home assistant cloud devices, the documentation is rather minimal!
So question is, does anyone have google assistant ability to turn fans on? If so, any pointers?
Thanks
Tim.
stupid me, just realised I have to ask google to set the fan speed to high/medium/low and it works.
still don’t get any controls on google home hub though, just a single on/off toggle where off works but on does nothing. In google assistant mobile app I get no controls at all.
How did you get it to flash?
I’m missing something obvious but I don’t know what.
I am powering it with the mains since the wiki says 3.3v wont cut it.
Is the boot order power, jump Tp16 to ground, plug in usb?
Any help as to what you did would be greatly appreciated as I’m not following the small amount of info on the wiki and am new to tasmota.
No.
It’s jumper TP16 to ground, power on, connect USB.
You have to have TP16 jumpered at boot to get it into flash mode. And be very careful about using main power. Not only can you fry your computer if you manage to feed main power back to the computer thru USB but you can also kill yourself if you screw up.
How did you power it if not using main?
Also, are you pushing the button while jumping?
Is there any indication on the board that it’s ready to flash?
I came up with this device to power up the IFan02 using an external 5v higher current power supply (scroll down till you see the heading “alternate power supply schematic”):
There is no need to push the button. Jumping TP16 to ground is putting GPIO0 to ground which put it into flash mode.
I honestly can’t remember for sure if there is a light that comes on or not. I don’t think so tho.
If I read that right, you going
Power (in my case it would be 2.4a @ 5v) ->buck converter - >3.3v to ifan02
Rx, Tx amd Gnd come from the FTI.
Are you also connecting the ground to the buck converter?
Yes the negative on the 3.3v output from the buck converter and both grounds from the FTDI adapter and the ground pin on J# of the IFan02 are connected together. And I have a jumper wire also connected to the ground pin on the power supply that I use to jumper to TP16 before I power it up. Then once it’s powered up I just release the jumper wire from TP16, plug in the FTDI to the USB port on the computer and flash it.
Here are some pictures of the power supply I made:
In the last picture the right side of the PCB has the power coming in from the 5v PS. On the far left are the wires going to the connector I plug into the IFan02 J3 port onto which I soldered a header. the buck converter is the board in the middle and the FTDI is connected to the header in the bottom middle. The FTDI adapter USB connector isn’t connected to anything outside of the picture yet.
You can also see the yellow wire on the bottom that is connected to ground (-) of the buck power supply that I use to intermittently touch to TP16 while I turn on the 5v input to power everything up.
This is really helpful. Thank you.
I ended up taking a quicker route to flash it which will hopefully help others in the future.
Here are the steps I took and it was done in almost no time at all
1)Soldered header pins to RX, TX and GND
2)Wrapped small wire around GND header pin before putting a female header cable on. That was my easy way to keep it connected to the ground. So basically I had 2 connections on the header pin.
3)Connected the grounded wire to to TP16 with a rubber coated clip (similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/TEKTON-3902-2-Inch-Spring-Opening/dp/B000NY5CFQ) instead of gluing or soldering. The grip is tight enough to hold it but not tight enough to do damage. I folded the wire over itself a bit to make a larger surface area, but not too large to hit other contacts.
Once it was all jumped and connected to my FTI, I did a simple Tasmota flashing and was up and running. After that I unplugged it and took off the clip and wire.
do your ifan02 devices beep repeatedly if you lose WiFi?
