Sorta. You can create a Alexa fan device, lets call it "Living Room Fan"
Alexa will understand, set Living Room Fan to: (Hi, Medium, Low, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Alexa does not recognize the On or Off command for a fan device. <-- pretty lame IMO.
If you speak Low, that translates to 1. Medium translates to 5. High Translates to 10.
On node red, you will add the "Living Room Fan" Alexa device and a Switch. When you edit the switch, you will just add a new split and "1", "2", "3" etc. to correspond with the translation of your command. If you only want Low, Medium, High.... then you only need to map "1", "5", "10" to acton groups in indigo that control the fan.
I had issues trying to directly associate my instean fan with it... so I had to use actions groups instead.
So this will help you to adjust the setting of your fan..... but not to turn it on or off. You could add an "on" command inline with the action group, but that still doesn't help you (or me) with turning the fan off.
Hopefully someone else has has better luck incorporating a fan with this.
