I have a hunter fan with a receiver which only supports power, minimum, high, up, and down. I would like to add a medium option as that is the most frequent speed we use. This could be easily accomplished by combining a single low command followed by an up command. Is this possible to do using the Bond API?

Hey @chucks0

Unfortunately, you cannot add this button directly to the bridge, so it won’t show in the app, **but** you can achieve that using the Bond API and some other integrations, like Alexa. 🙂

Let me share with you my case.  
My old cable TV powered on to an ads dashboard, and I usually watched the same channel, so I created an Alexa routine to power on the cable TV, wait for 1 minute (it was old and slow), then perform the commands to change the channel to that specific one.

Hope it works for you too!

Let me know if I can help you better.

@endy I ultimately created a Virtual Fan device in Hubitat and created custom routines for each fan speed.
