Dehumidifier Fan Speed

[NateGze]

Please add support for control of dehumidifier fan speed. Thanks!

I don't know exactly what you mean, but you need at least to add diagnostic so that I can check options provided by your device. Next time please use Feature request template to open a new Feature Request,

I would like to control the fan speed through home assistant. There are two speeds, low and high. They can be controlled through the LG app, but I can’t see it could be done via your home assistant device now. Turning in and off works, but I can’t see how the fan speed could be controlled. Probably needs its own entity or something.

Humidifier entity in HA do not support fan speed but only modes, that should be already be implemented. In any case please attach diagnostic so that I can check feature provided by your device and understand if something can be done.

I see about the modes. Could I create two modes that are attached with changing the fan speed? The mode pulldown only offers “smart”.

I will think about this, It could be an option create an associated fan device to manage this.

[NateGze]

Awesome, thanks.

I did some tests for this. As final solution I choose to allow to set fan speed as mode for device like yours that only allow a single operation mode. I think that this should be address as feature request to HA, asking to add the fan option for humidifier entity, this should be the best solution. I also tried to use climate as entity for dehumidifier, but result is not so good because primary (and mandatory) attribute for climate entity is temperature that obviously has nothing to do with dehumidifier.
New implementation will be available on next days when I will publish new release.

Happy new year! Thanks so much for looking into this and providing some sort of solution. I look forward to seeing it in your next release. I created a feature request for HA for this, feel free to upvote.

New release is now available. Please test and give me your feed-back.

[NateGze]

Hi, thanks, it works. Much appreciated for your efforts. The one quirk I may have found is that if you change the mode before you turn it on, it doesn’t register. It is always responsive to mode changes when it has already been switched on though. Thanks again.
