I recently stumbled upon a modification to the SmartThings button controller app that adds a ‘Fan’ section, allowing users to cycle through fan modes with button presses. This is a fantastic addition for those looking to streamline their smart home setup. The user shared their setup with the Aeon Minimote, which includes turning the fan on and off at different speeds by pressing the button multiple times. Holding the button toggles the fan off/on, adding another layer of convenience.
The provided code snippet showcases how the app has been adapted to include fan functionality. It’s impressive to see how customizable the SmartThings platform is, even for someone like me who isn’t deeply technical. I’m curious to see if this modification can be expanded to support other devices or features.
For anyone interested in trying this out, the code is available on GitHub. It would be great to hear from others who have experimented with similar modifications or have suggestions for further improvements. Let’s continue to explore the possibilities of integrating smart devices to make our homes even smarter!
