Fan Control Entity Row

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

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

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:

Options:

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
entity	String	Yes	none	a fan entity_id
type	String	Yes	none	custom:fan-control-entity-row
name	String	No	none	A custom name for the entity in the row
customTheme	Boolean	No	false	set to true to use a custom theme
sendStateWithSpeed	Boolean	No	false	Used only for certain firmware that requires the State command be sent with the Speed command
isOffColor	String	No	'#f44c09'	Sets the color of the 'Off' button if fan is off
isOnLowColor	String	No	'#43A047'	Sets the color of the 'Low' button if fan is on low
isOnMedColor	String	No	'#43A047'	Sets the color of the 'Med' button if fan is on Medium
isOnHiColor	String	No	'#43A047'	Sets the color of the 'Hi' button if fan is on high
buttonInactiveColor	String	No	'#759aaa'	Sets the color of the the buttons if that selection is off
customOffText	String	No	'OFF'	Sets the text of the "off" button
customLowText	String	No	'LOW'	Sets the text of the "low" speed button
customMedText	String	No	'MED'	Sets the text of the "medium" speed button
customHiText	String	No	'HIGH'	Sets the text of the "High" speed button

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.
