Here is a little tutorial on how I integrated my new ceiling fan into openHAB.
Because I wanted a modern and simple looking fan I could not find a suitable one hat could be controlled by a Sonoff iFan03.
Instead I bought a Faro Pemba wich comes with a simple 433 MHz remote.
So I bought a Sonoff RF Bridge 433 MHz as a gateway between openHAB (via mqtt) and the ceiling fan.
I flashed the RF Bridge with Tasmota.
Next step was to learn the RF commands like described in the Tasmota Wiki.
Here is the result of my openHAB configuration:
fan.items
Switch RF01_Reachable "RF01 reachable [%s]" <network> {mqtt="<[mosquitto:tele/rf01/LWT:state:MAP(reachable.map)]"}
Number RF01_RSSI "RF01: RSSI [%d %%]" <switch> {mqtt="<[mosquitto:tele/rf01/STATE:state:JSONPATH($.Wifi.RSSI)]"}
String RF01_Verbose "RF01: MQTT return message [%s]" <signal> {mqtt="<[mosquitto:tele/rf01/INFO1:state:default],
<[mosquitto:stat/rf01/STATUS2:state:default],
<[mosquitto:stat/rf01/RESULT:state:default]"}

fan.sitemap
sitemap fan label="fan"
{
Frame label="Deckenventilator" {
Switch item=CeilingFanPower
Selection item=CeilingFanSpeed mappings=[0="aus", 1="langsam", 2="2", 3="mittel", 4="4", 5="5", 6="schnell"]
Switch item=CeilingFanRotate
Text item=RF01_Reachable
Text item=RF01_RSSI
Text item=RF01_Verbose
}
}
It can be controlled with Alexa.
The downside of this solution is that there is no feedback from the fan to the bridge/openHAB.
So your smart home does not know if you turned on/off the fan with the remote or if the fan did not respond to your commands.
I did not test the light feature.
