homebridge-itho-daalderop's Issues

Can't control Itho via Homebridge

I enabled the plugin on homebridge and filled in all necessary fields (MQ. After this, I added the homebridge hub to my "Home" on my phone. The hub is recognized and an air quality sensor and fan is added.
After this the fan is running at 47% according to "Home". In the Add on web interface it is set to value "120".
When I wan't to change value/speed of the fan, nothing happens, although Homebridge does show the value change.
The fan stays on the same speed, the Add on webinterface doesn't show the speed change either.

Note: I did not connect my RFT-N AUTO remote to the add-on.

HRU 300 RFCommands instead of virtual remote

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

The HRU 300 needs the C1101 RF module to control this unit. This is supported in the api using the rfcommand= url instead of using the virtual remote. The hru 300 therefore cannot be controlled by this plugin right now

Describe the solution you'd like:

An extra checkbox for the HRU 300 which sets the plugin to use RF commands instead of the virtual remote

Describe alternatives you've considered:

An alternative is a I2C implementation for this device which has been discussed in forum topics but is still wip right now

Additional context:

This device can only be controlled with RF Commands for the time being

Homebridge shuts down continuously due too setting rotation speed

First thank you for this great plugin! It worked well in the beginning, but now I've receiving the errors when changing the rotation speed and it's continuously shuts down and restarting Homebridge.

[1/24/2023, 8:11:01 AM] [homebridge-itho-daalderop] This plugin threw an error from the characteristic 'Rotation Speed': Unhandled error thrown inside read handler for characteristic: connect EHOSTUNREACH 192.168.x.x:80. See https://homebridge.io/w/JtMGR for more info.
