Shelly-homekit: FAN device request.

[Jaguaza]

Petition:
Fan device.

Utilities:
For shelly controlled fans we can declare them as such even if their function is only on / off. Although possibly with new shelly devices you can add intensity etc. But for now with an on / off is enough.

if anyone feels like doing this before i get to it, here's an example change - https://github.com/mongoose-os-apps/shelly-homekit/commit/1ef5e0c5dd5f1032905e8ef14d5c6b104b77f6bd

@rojer Sorry for disturbing you.
We have the fan with swicht Mode for on/off

Its not necesary either fan device because i think there is not a shelly device who can emulate a fan's remite control, It were a Nonsense.
We can Close this issue and if you want se can open other to plan the garage's device, because It Will be very used whith a shelly 1 by so many users.

Just a quick thought: isn't it true that every Outlet in HomeKit can be set as a Fan in the device settings (Show as:)?

Yes and no. In switch you just change the icon, but the device is still a switch. The Fan device in addition to an on and off can be associated with intensity or power of the fan spin.

dose the Shelly's allow the ability to control the voltage ?, thought they where just on/off and controlling the speed of a fan requires a voltage regulator ?

[rojer]

all characteristics of the fan service except "active" are optional. we will not be able to provide speed control, but that's fine.

[andyblac]

is the really required when you can simply choose "FAN" in HomeKit switch type settings ?

[rojer]

yep, i think that's enough
