FAQ
Q: I don’t fully understand the “Fan Speed - Off Switch Option”, could you explain it to me?
A Sometimes you need to select a different entity to turn the fan OFF. This is normally used when having a fan that has different speeds and one of the speeds is OFF. You normally have to turn ON the switch to turn the fan OFF. If you have this scenario then select your OFF speed entity here. If you do not have this, then please leave it blank.
Q: How to use the “Trigger Sensor By-pass” without having a physical switch?
A: Go to Settings / Devices & Services / click on the “Helpers” tab / click “+ CREATE HELPER” and select “Toggle”. In the name put “Temp Exhaust Fan Sensor By-pass” and click save. Then go back into the automation and in the “Trigger Sensor By-pass” search for the name you created in this case “Temp Exhaust Fan Sensor By-pass” and click save. Now in a “Dashboard” click “Edit dashboard” then click “+ ADD CARD” click on “Button” or “Entities” in the entity field again search for the name you created in this case “Temp Exhaust Fan Sensor By-pass” and click save. Then click “DONE”. You now have a “Temp Exhaust Fan Sensor By-pass” switch to disable the Exhaust Fan.
Q: I would like to set a different value but the slider is not letting me?
A Just simply type the number value you would like in the field and click save. A red line will appear under the number you have entered but once you click save, exit the automation and go back into it the red line will not be there.
