Hello everyone, I wanted to share my recent experience with creating a custom fan thermostat controller. I’ve been using ceiling fans for years, but automating their speed based on temperature has always been a bit tricky. After some research, I came across an app that seemed promising, but it lacked some features I needed. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and develop a solution that fits my home automation setup perfectly.My goal was to create a system that not only adjusts fan speed based on temperature but also integrates seamlessly with other smart devices. I started by experimenting with various configurations in my home automation platform, testing different temperature thresholds and fan speeds. The process was a bit trial and error, but it taught me a lot about how to fine-tune these settings for optimal comfort.After several iterations, I finally put together an app that creates virtual thermostat devices to control fan speed. This app supports multiple temperature sensors, allows for manual override, and can handle any number of fan speed settings. It also integrates well with other smart devices, making it a versatile addition to my smart home ecosystem.One of the key features I added was the ability to manually override the thermostat for short periods. This is especially useful during sudden temperature spikes or if I want to adjust the fan speed without waiting for the thermostat to respond. I also made sure the app is user-friendly, so even those who aren’t tech-savvy can easily configure it.I’d like to thank the community for their support and the resources available online that helped me along the way. If anyone is interested in trying out my app, I’ve made it available on GitHub. Feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions for improvement.This project has been a great learning experience, and I’m excited to see how it evolves in the future. Happy automating everyone!
