hubitat-modern-forms-fan

Hubitat driver for Modern Forms combined fan + light device

This driver automatically creates a separate child dimmer device for the light attached to the fan, to simplify dashboards and smart home automation like Google Home (which does not support combined fan and light devices).

If local physical controls are used to change the state of the device, this driver will automatically pick up the changes via polling (by default, it polls every 30 seconds, which can be customized in the device preferences).

Setup

1. In Hubitat, navigate to Drivers Code, then click New Driver.

2. Open the file modern-forms-fan.groovy from this repository, copy its contents, and paste them into the Hubitat New Driver editor window. Click Save.

3. Navigate to Devices, then click Add Virtual Device.
