Hi,
I have 3 315MHz RF Ceiling fans in my house. I have setup a receiver and transmitter with OpenMQTTGateway which is working wonderfully after failing to get ESPHome working.
I am attempting to setup the fans in my configuration based on the codes I sniffed from the remotes. The remote has 4 buttons: Off, Speed 1, Speed 2, and Speed 3. Each button sends a different code. The off payload looks as follows:
{
"value": 522775,
"protocol": 6,
"length": 24,
"delay": 482
}
I tried to setup the fan using the template examples I’ve found and have fooled around with getting the fan state/speed state to stay in sync with the remote/HA. I think I am just misunderstanding how OpenMQTTGateway and Home Assitant interact. I have posted the config that I am trying to use and hope someone can set me straight. Thank you.

With this setup I am able to control the fan with the remote or HA, but HA doesn’t see speed/state changes done with the remote. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
