Fan Control Entity Row

This is an element to add a fan control row to Home Assistant.

This plugin is only valid for use with fans that still use a speed list in the fan configuration. That fan control model is deprecated in versions of Home Assistant 2021.3.x and later. For HA versions 2021.3.x and later use fan-percent-button-row or fan-mode-button-row if your fan has been updated to use the new control methods.

https://github.com/finity69x2/fan-mode-button-row

It uses the code that can be found in my fan control package @ https://github.com/finity69x2/Home-Assistant/blob/master/packages/fan_package.yaml

UPDATE:

I've added the ability to hide the medium speed button to turn it into a two speed fan control, as well. To use it in this mode then your fan speeds must be designated low and high since it simply removes the medium speed button.

Installation:

The easiest way to install this is to use the Home Assistant Community Store (HACS) in Home Assistant.

Follow the instructions there for installation making sure you note the "url:" section for the resources addition.

Conversely, if you don't use HACS you can install it manually by performing the following:

Copy the fan-control-entity-row.js file to the appropriate folder in your Home Assistant Configuration directory (/config/www/).

Place the following in your "resources" section in your lovelace configuration (updating the localation to where you placed the above file):

  - url: /local/fan-control-entity-row.js
    type: module

Then to use this in a card place the following in your entity card:

state_color	Boolean	No	false	Sets the icon color of the entity to reflect the current state

The values for the colors can be any valid color string in "HEX", "RGB" or by color name.

*NOTE: The speeds that your fan uses in Home Assistant need to use all lowercase letters. The only time this should be a concern is if you are using a template fan. Be sure to make your speeds all lowercase in the fan configuration.

The optional "sendStateWithSpeed" config entry is only needed to be set to true if for some reason your fan needs the state command of "on" to be sent along with the desired speed command. As far as I know this is only needed for use with fans flashed with the ESPHome Firmware.
