Hello,

Thanks for posting. As of today, we only have the documented APIs available. However, you could use a PercentageController Interface to set or receive values of 0-100, and then make the appropriate conversions to fan speed levels. Please note that requests to set this to minimum will result in a value of 10, and Increase and Decrease requests will result in adjusting Percentage directives of +25/-25.

More info on the Alexa.PercentageController Interface can be found here:
