At the present time nope, will add it to the back log for a future enhancement.
If someone wants to submit a pull request with the feature I will accept it.

Could you share context here? At the present time what prevents it from working? Do you know which commit removed support so I can see how it was implemented previously? I’m happy to work on this! Just some guidance would be appreciated |

It was never implemented, as I never change my fan settings

To implement this am looking at using a FanV2 Service added to the thermostat accessory for the fan. So the fan can be either a combo tile or a separate tile as needed. But as HomeKit does not directly map the Fan controls to the HoneyWell model, it will be a bit a kludge that will need to be worked thru. I'm going to collect the various options here, so if you can share what Fan Modes your thermostat supports if they are not listed below. On/Auto
On/Auto/Circulate
On/Auto/Circulate/Follow Schedule(FS)
The "to HomeKit" row is the status mapping from the Honeywell thermostat to HomeKit, the "from HomeKit" row is the mapping from HomeKit to the Honeywell thermostat ( what happens when a Home App setting is changed ). |

I'm here from reddit! So the thing I didn't like about the existing tcc-fan plugin and using fan v1/v2 is that it obfuscates the four fan modes. I couldn't think of a good way to have them available, but you can look at my code if you want. Let me know what you think. |
|
@Freddicus I'm leaning towards the FanV2 and am thinking to have the controls work as per the above tables. Thru the various options, can get everything to work except follow Schedule. |
|
@NorthernMan54 Cool! I won't encroach, then. :) I'll publish what I have for people who may want this alternative. I personally use Follow Schedule mode the most. Though, now that I'm thinking I guess I should switch to schedule the thermostat with HomeKit and not use the scheduling functionality of TCC. I'll have to think about it. Maybe one of the duplicated modes in the above table could be for Follow Schedule? (I'm probably grossly misunderstanding the capabilities of v2)

@Freddicus Let me see if I can get your suggestion to work |

I have the RTH6580WF thermostat (most basic WIFI thermostat), and the TCC Fan works well for me (besides being chatty in the Homebridge logs, which I just put as a request for the plugin). For me, the only two modes for fan are On and Auto, so it's the simplest approach. When Home sets the fan to On, adjust the fan to ON in TCC. When the Home sets the fan to off, adjust the fan in TCC to Auto. |

Hi friends. I'd be willing to help with the fan support if I can get a bit of guidance and mentoring along the way. (I'm an experienced programmer but this will be my first time in javascript and node.). I have a vested interest in the outcome: I need to automate my fan settings between the three modes (on, circulate, auto) to get my HVAC to work efficiently. I'm pretty new to, well, everything about this... so if I make any etiquette mistakes please just let me know. :) |

@glitchykitten We were all beginners at one point, so no issue with giving it a try. I will be reviewing your pull request, so along as you are okay with some feedback it should be fine. |
|
Sounds good to me. I'm ramping up now and will direct my questions to the Discord. I'll run a high level plan by you before I code it up, and I'll look forward to feedback on the pull request. |
|
Was there any progress on adding fan controls? I'm interested in the circulate feature. |
|
No, I abandoned the project because I ended up re-doing my HVAC system and didn't need to automate fan controls anymore. (And then after the debacle of homekit automation unreliability over the past few months, I actually moved all my HVAC automation back to the native thermostat scheduling and abandoned HomeKit automations entirely.) |
|
Thanks I ve gone through the documentation and they don't explain the callback. As in how to pick it. I now use your plugin for temporary overides plus a one location dashboard (the home app) to give me an overview of the house. |
|
You'll need to talk to NorthernMan45 for more technical details since it's his plugin. You can probably find him on the Discord. |
