Which portable fan in tower or other format is supported by Homey Apps using zigbee, z-wave or wi-fi? Bluethooth is also a possibility, but due to little bluetooth range (of to large house) I am not interessed in that technology. ---

I haven’t tried either fan myself, but there is an app from Dyson and there is also a supported fan from Xiaomi Mi. > **[Dyson](https://homey.app/de-de/app/com.dyson/Dyson/)** > > Mach es zu deinem coolen Zuhause > **[Xiaomi Mi Home](https://homey.app/de-de/app/com.xiaomi-miio/Xiaomi-Mi-Home/)** > > Steuere Xiaomi Mi Home Geräte mit Homey If it’s a normal fan, you can use a Smart Switch to switch it on and off. But of course you can’t change the speed then. ---

Dyson works over wifi and Athom kinda fucked it up. Somehow there are a Dyson fans that cannot connect to the app. In order to fix it I was mailing with Athom. Now they fixed it but the app requires v5. Which is in beta now and doesn’t have support for older apps. So, before buying a Dyson, I would check if Athom is screwing you over or not. ---

same experience with the dyson app. If it works, athom somehow fucks it up with an update and everything goes wrong… I’ve given up contacting them… ---

Me too. When support told me that I needed to upgrade to v5 I told them they were shit. I couldn’t help myself. I cannot understand why you would force users to a major version (where half of the apps won’t work) for a simple bug fix. The’re comeplete idiots, and that is what I read (between the lines) on this forum: odd choices, very odd choices. But the bottom line is this: I cannot add my Dyson to Homey (and all of the sudden not to Home Assistant), I do have it in HomeKit (with Homebridge). I have my Auping beds that only work in Homey (not in HomeKit or Home Assistant) and this list goes on and on. I had hoped that Homey was a decent product, considering it depends highly on third party developers.
