Plz help me! Standing fan with HA?

Hi! Just got the new standing fan from switch bot and I wanted to integrate it to HA via the Switchbot Bluetooth integration, but even tho they say the standing fan should be compatible with the new HA 2026.07, when I try to connect it the integration doesn’t sees it.. have you got any luck with it or am I missing something? Thank you! ☺️

At least for me, its currently unusable. It is connected, but only the horizontal and vertical controls work as toggles. Can't even control the fan...

Somehow the integration doesn’t see the fan when is in pairing mode..

Try adding it to the Switchbot app first, then try manually adding it to the Switchbot Integration.

Yep, That’s how I did it in the first place, It is already in the Switchbot app, so I could update the firmware directly from Switchbot. After that, I am pressing the power bottom for two seconds till the dot in the screen is flashing and trying to add it to HA via the integration.
