ESPHome PWM fan using a Wemos D1 mini lite
# Controlling my Buva Qstream ventilation system using:
# * A Wemos D1 mini lite (an ESP8266 based board)
# * A Wemos power shield so I can power the Wemos from the ventilation units 12V supply.
# * A simple PWM to 10V convertor like this: https://www.cheaptech.nl/pwm-signaal-te-voltage-converter-1-3-khz-0-10-v-pw.html
# * The amazing ESPHome firmware tool: https://esphome.io
# * Home Assistant to tie it all together: https://www.home-assistant.io
#
# I used to use a Raspberry Pi and some Python code for this. See https://gist.github.com/SqyD/a927ab612df767a0cc892bcde23d025c
# The Wemos approach seems more stable and doesn't require external USB power.

How are you able to use the custom speed setting on the fan? It looks like it was deprecated a while back:

Hi @poldim,

I no longer live in the appartment so I haven't use/maintained this integration for about 1,5 years now. Tt is very likely that it may be impacted by recent changes you mention. I don't have a solution I'm afraid.

@poldim It's pretty easy. Replace the whole speed section (line 38 - 41) in your screenshot with speed_count: 100.

Thanks, I was hoping to be able to use a few non linear set points for a ventilation fan of mine but it appears that's no longer an option. I'm going to play around with some template options that might allow it to work.

BTW, do you know the model of that ventilation you had in your old apartment?

@poldim The model is mentioned in the first line of the comment of this yaml.
