Switch with 4 steps

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello,

I have a fan, that is controlled with two inputs 1 and 2 which can be “0” and “1” - with this the fan can be controlled in 4 different steps (off and 3 different speeds).

At the moment I control this with two single switches:

But what I would like to have is one switch with the steps 0 - 1 - 2 - 3

How can this be done?

I did not find a solution up to now.

Thank you in advanvce.

A fan template should work perfect for you:

Thank you for your reply.

I now did the following:

I created an Input select for my fan with the 4 values (off, step1, step2, step3) and then I created an automation that is triggered when I change the value of the input select.

Is this the right way (so I need 4 automations for one drop down field) ?

Is it also possible to have a something like a sliding controller instead of the drop-down ?

It’s the right way but it can be done with a single automation. Post the automation(s) you created and I’ll show you how to do it.

Perhaps you are thinking of an Input Number?

Be advised that it’s displayed in the UI as a fairly short horizontal slider.

I have this automations (one for each step) - here the examples for “step 0” and “step 1”

How can I convert it to a single automation ?

Does it mean I need an input number from 0 … 3 → and then trigger the automation by this change ?
