I'm running the integration with oxxify smart 50 fans, and the connection to the fans was easily made, so first of all thx a lot for this great integration!
My problem (and most likely I'm the problem myself being new to home assistant):
I'm not able to adress the fans via code. The only solution I found is "on" "off" and "toggle". For my automation I would need full access to the controls that are shown (Level 1 2 3, boost , party, auto on/off...). as it is possible to control these features "manually", obviously the required commands are known.

Describe the solution you'd like

A documentation how to access the additional control features via code/ automation

Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternatives

Additional context

not required I guess

I had the exact same problem a couple of hours ago. When I checked the source code I noticed that the fan speed can be indeed set (sorry, my HA is in German):

If you directly want to add a button without opening the entity you can give a script a try. Once mine is done I will share it here. For automations there is an action which is probably called something like "Fan: Set fan speed" in english:

Great! Made my day... Thx a lot! Searching for "Lüfter" in automations did the trick. (My HA is also in German...)

Amazing. Here as promised my card:

entity: fan.fan_dennis
type: custom:multiple-entity-row
attribute: percentage
name: Fan speed
show_state: false
entities:
  - icon: mdi:fan-off
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: fan.set_percentage
      service_data:
        entity_id: fan.fan_dennis
        percentage: 0
  - icon: mdi:fan-speed-1
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: fan.set_percentage
      service_data:
        entity_id: fan.fan_dennis
        percentage: 33
  - icon: mdi:fan-speed-2
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: fan.set_percentage
      service_data:
        entity_id: fan.fan_dennis
        percentage: 66
  - icon: mdi:fan-speed-3
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: fan.set_percentage
      service_data:
        entity_id: fan.fan_dennis
        percentage: 100
card_mod:
  style: >
    :host .entity:nth-child({{ (state_attr('fan.fan_dennis', 'percentage') / 33
    + 1)|int }}) .icon-small {
      color: var(--rgb-state-default-color);
    }

It will only work properly if you install the two following plugins (available on HACS):

• card-mod
• multiple-entity-row

In the end it will look like this which in my opinion is far better to control:

If this fully solved your problem, please don't forget to close your issue to save the plugin author some time.
