Unable to swap Fan icon

[ricardotpo]

Hi all,
I think I found a bug.

I've got a Tuya ceiling fan installed and working, however the icon on homekit is of a table top fan.
When I go to the device settings and try to tap on the fan icon to swap it, nothing happens.

Other than this, I have nothing but compliments !
This plugin is incredibly better than the official one.
Excellent work guys !

Hi @ricardotpo,
Icon customize feature is provided by homekit app, most accessories don't support icon changing, only few supported (Switch, Light).
See #93 .

there is a fan device/accessory type that allows switching icons, as shown in attached

i came across this in the homebridge-irobot plugin, which uses a type of fan accessory to surface the vacuum

@ricardotpo @r2shyyou There's two services: Fan and Fanv2, I'm using Fanv2 and homebridge-irobot is using Fan.
Fan has more customizable icons, while Fanv2 has more characteristics (mode: auto/manual, child lock, swing).

Seems the custom icon requirements is strong, before mode/child lock/swing implemented, I will use Fan instead.

So for the fs and fskg category, I need to check their schema and if one of the mode, lock, swing exists, I will treate it as Fanv2, else Fan. I think that's a final solution. Besides there's some cache cleanning work to be done.
