I am really new to Home assistant and i

Do the on/off buttons control the light directly, or through Home Assistant?

through home assistant using the pico multi button blueprint thing

Then you can write #automations-archived to use the up/down buttons

honestly i think my actual question is more how do i make the fan go from 33% to 66% when i push the button

Service calls

Used in #automations-archived

[pale coral]

i dont see any of that when i click on the device info for the fan

[modern kelp]

Because devices are really simple

Device actions are also really limited

Call a service is where the magic is

ok let me look at that

That is awesome!! i have been trying to figure this out for hours! and you did it in line 5 mins lol

Device triggers/conditions/actions are easy, and limited

Honestly this software is a little overwhelmings SUPER powerful! then i see all the youtube stugg about yaml and i am just like "not today sir"

[modern kelp]

YAML is a little scary at first, but it's just a structured "language", once you learn the basics it's really easy

YAML is the mark up language used by Home Assistant, consistent indenting (two spaces per level) is key. Here is a primer, and this explains multi-line templates. For validating YAML see YAML Lint.
