Since HomeKit control over fan speed is with a slider between 0-100, the plugin converts the steps you have in the Electra app to values between 1 to 100, when 100 is highest and 1 is lowest. Setting the fan speed to 0, should actually set it to "AUTO" speed.
Available fan speeds: AUTO, VLOW, LOW, MED, HIGH, TOP
enable or disable them inside the config
If you experience any issues with the plugin please refer to the Issues tab and check if your issue is already described there, if it doesn't, please create a new issue with as much detailed information as you can give (logs are crucial).
if you want to even speed up the process, you can add "debug": true
to your config, which will give me more details on the logs and speed up fixing the issue.
