Modern Forms
modern_forms
Modern Forms has a line of smart Wi-Fi-connected fans that allow for cloud or local control of the fan and light. On fan models that support sleep timers, individual timers for the fan and light can be set and cleared independently.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |

light | Light | |
switch | Switch or outlet | |
fan | Fan | |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) |
What people report
Modern Forms fans work over the local API, and Gen4 light fixtures gained colour temperature. Some users fail to add a fan, usually from network issues.
