I can't seem to find any mention of a node for these fans - any tips?

Have you tried Google?

What I have found in about 45 seconds was that they are compatible for _"Hands-free voice control with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant"_.

So perhaps one of the dozens of nodes a palette search of the key words _"Google"_ and _"Alexa"_ turned up?

I prefer direct connections without the cloud if possible but yes, it's the fallback. I used neeva 😉

I had never heard of it before... and after seeing the eventual $4.95/month, I never will again 😛

I am very good at avoiding clicking on ads from Google.

And after adding keywords from your title along with "Node-red", I found this topic on result #2 (right after the Ad on #1 😆 ) ... but also this on result #3 and possibly more interest to you...

It looks like you have been hunting for alternate control for awhile 😛

That API and example is in JavaScript, so I guess you could try the `Function` node and experiment?

If you use node-red 1.3.0 or above, you can add a reference to load a library in the function node setup tab.

This nodejs project was published 4 months ago: [bigassfanjs - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bigassfanjs)

Add a require to `bigassfanjs ` in the function node setup tab and then write code in the function node to read/write values.
