Fan Control about homebridge-ecobee-away HOT 3 OPEN

I just tested and this is possible, you can use setHold with fan: on and fan: off

                const awayBody = {
                    'selection': {
                        'selectionType': 'registered',
                        'selectionMatch': '',
                    },
                    'functions': [
                        {
                            'type': 'setHold',
                            'params': {
                                'holdType': 'indefinite',
                                'fan': 'on',
                            },
                        },
                    ],
                };

I'm not sure, to be honest. The Ecobee API isn't super detailed, so it's a little hard to know what it actually does.

That's the closest thing I could find, basically set a hold temp with the fan speed set to full? I'm not sure if that would actually work or not, or if a hold is what you're looking for.

I too am interested in this. My question now, is could we also expose the "holdType" via some HomeKit control? I often want the fan to run for 15/30/60 minutes and then return to it's regular schedule. I haven't looked at the HAP in quite a while, but I cannot think of a good control for this. I suppose we could just expose six switches, one for each preset duration. It's not elegant, so any other suggestions would be welcome.
