Okay, the main issue I’ve got with my Bond and my ceiling fan and HA is that state tracking is pretty inconsistent, which causes my remotes to not always work. My plan was pretty much to put a PM1 in line so that it would know the current watt draw, and then have an automation run to update the bond with the speed, based on some watt ranges I had worked out. This seems to MOSTLY work, but… sometimes it doesn’t and I have no idea why.
This morning for example, the fan was on full speed overnight, keeping me nice and cool. I hit the remote button to turn it off (service call for fan:toggle) but it does nothing. I open the Bond app and it thinks the fan is off, when it’s definitely not. I open my automation and it hasn’t fired since last night, presumably when I turned the fan on in the first place. I skip directly to the part of the automation that performs the action to update the state if the watt usage is in the range for ‘off’ (0 to 1.7w) and it works.
So something isn’t triggering, yeah?
Here’s the yaml, if someone can tell me if there’s an obvious reason this isn’t always working.
If someone has a better way to achieve this, I’d be very open to it. Thanks!

It’s not because this forum would be very harsh or pedantic, but it is simply not possible to see errors in YAML, if it is not properly formatted. Indentation is very important in YAML and without formatting, we can’t see if something’s wrong there.
What you’re doing here, is setting a state, while not transmitting anything. 
If so, just add to this topic, so people know, where you’re coming from.
