I’m currently in the process switching over to the white series. Currently, I have the canopy module paired to a VTM35 Fan Switch.

In home assistant, the switch config is,
Smart Fan Mode : Smart Fan Enabled
Switch Mode : Ceiling (3 speed) + Single

The canopy config is,
Fan Mode : Ceiling (3 Speed)
Light Mode : Dimmer+Leading

I also have 2 matter binding for cluster 6 on/off and cluster 8 levelControl on endpoint 2.

I can turn the fan on via the wall switch, but controlling speed is a bit unintuitive. By which I mean, press the paddle only turns the fan on and off. In order to increase / decrease the speed, I need to long press the paddle.

So my question is, is it not possible to get the switch to work from just a single tap at a time? Would I need to use an automation?

(Fyi just began my journey to localization :sweat_smile:)

For this I believe you would need to use automation, but it is a good feature request for Inovelli to consider imo.

You could use the script below with a choose variable for Up Single and Down Single. Create an option for each state the fan could be in (low, med, high, off). The script also has fan binding which syncs the config button to the fan speed: 1=low, 2=med, 3=high.
