Setting Fan speed settings or mode does not turn on fan even with sendStateWith option set to true

[hooverds54]

I am having some basic issues using the fan-percent-button-row in that while the speed setting is being set properly he fan state is off so there seems to be no way to turn fan on. I can see he speed setting changing because I also have the Tuya SMart App and can see the speed changing. Further the speed setting is visible using the custom row if the fan is turned on. I am using 10 50 and 100 because in diagnostics below there are 3 speeds and they are set as 1,2, or 3.

In theory I think I should be using the fan-mode-button-row but I was having issues there as well.

Setting the speed does not turn on the fan for either custom row type.

Here is configuration followed by the diagnostics of the device.

• type: custom:fan-percent-button-row
  entity: fan.smart_fan_table
  name: Table Fan
  icon: mdi:ceiling-fan
  lowPercentage: 10
  medPercentage: 50
  hiPercentage: 100
  sendStateWithspeed: true
• type: custom:fan-mode-button-row
  entity: fan.smart_fan_doorway
  name: Doorway Fan
  icon: mdi:ceiling-fan
  sendStateWithMode: true

Here is the diagnostics for the fan device. and in the fan speed section you can see there are three settings for speed 1,2,3

It feels like I am just not sending or receiving the correct mode "string" my device appears to be expecting 1,2,or 3 but am I sending "low", "medium" and "high" for the fan-mode-button row when I click on any of the speed buttons the fan starts but the speed is not being set.

For the fan-percent-button-row the speed is set correctly if the off is off but the fan does not start and if the fan is on then it is only possible to set the speed to high or medium but setting the speed never turns on the fan.

I am perplexed.

After further tweaking I am now using the fan-percent-button-row with limited success. It appears all hte button are correctly setting the speed but there remains an issue with the display of the buttons. The "High" setting is always right but the "Med" setting is never highlighted even though the speed is set properly and when it is in the "med" setting the "low" button is highlighted. The off button is mostly working but sometimes does not work when the fan is on "low" I first have to switch to high to turn off. Still quirky in some sense.

Part of the issue is that my fan control has setting of 1 , and 3 but it seems that setting percentage of anything over 52 will set the medium speed and setting the high as 100 sets the high speed. anything under 51 is set to low speed . Here is abbreviated setup

• type: custom:fan-percent-button-row
  entity: fan.smart_fan_table
  name: Table Fan
  allowDisablingButtons: false
  customSetpoint: true
  customThemes: true
  offPercentage: 0
