Cycling through Fan Speeds w single button on Control Page

I have a GE Smart Fan Controller and using the Masquerade plugin to define OFF-LOW-MED-HIGH.

I would like have a single button on a control page that would cycle through the 4 states every time it is pressed.

Is this possible? Maybe this is Indigo 101, but never needed to do anything like this before...

Thanks,

Chris

Does the "Cycle Through Fan Speeds" action not work?

LOL!!! I never saw that in there! Thanks for pointing out the obvious...

I did notice the cycle goes backwards from what I would expect (HIGH>MED>LOW>OFF>REPEAT) instead of (OFF>LOW>MED>HIGH>REPEAT), but maybe that is how analog fan controller remotes work...I don't have any of those.

Other than that, it works great!

That is how the pull chain works on ceiling fans (at least in the US) - first pull high, next medium, next low, next off, etc. I modeled that command after the chain pull.

This makes sense now that you say it.

I think my GE smart fan controller paddle switch does the reverse, which is what I have been using for quite awhile.

A feature request would allow for either direction :-)
