Fan Percent Button Row

Provides a means to program 2 or 3 preset speed percentage settings for fans selectable from a Lovelace button row.

NOTE: You must be on Home Assistant V2021.3.X or higher to use this plug-in. However, if your fan integration hasn't been updated to the new control method (if it doesn't actually use percentages for speeds but still uses a speed list) then you need to use the fan-control-entity-row.

Installation:


NOTE:

For some reason there is a big backlog of requests to add repositories as defaulkt in HACS. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

In the meantime, you can still add this as a custom repository in HACS.

Open HACS. Click on one of the sub-headings (integration, frontend, etc) then click the three dots in the top right of the HACS page and copy the URL for the main repo in there at the bottom. Select plugin as the type. It should show up in HACS to be able to be installed at that point.


The easiest way to install this is to use the Home Assistant Community Store (HACS) in Home Assistant.

Follow the instructions there for installation making sure you note the "url:" section for the resources addition.

Conversely, if you don't use HACS you can install it manually by performing the following:

Copy the fan-percent-button-row.js file to the appropriate folder in your Home Assistant Configuration directory (/config/www/).

Place the following in your "resources" section in your lovelace configuration (updating the location to where you placed the above file):

  - url: /local/fan-percent-button-row.js
    type: module

Then to use this in a card place the following in your entity card:

Options:

Name Type Required Default Description
entity String Yes none any fan entity_id
type String Yes none custom:fan-percent-button-row
name String No none A custom name for the entity in the row
customTheme Boolean No false set to true to use a custom theme
customSetpoints Boolean No false set to true to use custom speed percent setpoints
reverseButtons Boolean No false set to true to reverse the button order
isTwoSpeedFan Boolean No false Set to true to hide the middle percent button
hideOff Boolean No false Set to true to hide the Off button
sendStateWithSpeed Boolean No false Used only for certain firmware that requires the State command be sent with the Speed command
allowDisablingButtons Boolean No true Set to false to prevent buttons being disabled
width String No 30px A custom width for the buttons
height String No 30px A custom height for the buttons
isOffColor String No '#f44c09' Sets the color of the 'Off' button if fan is off
isOnLowColor String No '#43A047' Sets the color of the 'Low' button if fan is on low percent speed
isOnMedColor String No '#43A047' Sets the color of the 'Med' button if fan is on medium percent speed
isOnHiColor String No '#43A047' Sets the color of the 'Hi' button if fan is on high percent speed
buttonInactiveColor String No '#759aaa' Sets the color of the the buttons if that selection is not "active"
lowPercentage Integer No 33 Sets the speed percentage level for the "Low" button (min 10)
medPercentage Integer No 66 Sets the speed percentage level for the "Med" button
hiPercentage Integer No 99 Sets the speed level for the "High" button (max 100)
customOffText String No 'OFF' Sets the text of the "off" button
customLowText String No 'LOW' Sets the text of the "low" speed button
customMedText String No 'MED' Sets the text of the "medium" speed button
customHiText String No 'HIGH' Sets the text of the "High" speed button

The values for the colors can be any valid color string in "HEX", "RGB" or by color name.

If the speed percantage is changed via any other means (slider, service call, etc) the buttons will indicate which range the speed percentage is in based on the setpoint settings in the config.
