H-bridge Fan

:description: Instructions for setting up hbridge controlled fans (or motors).
:image: fan.png
The `'hbridge`' fan platform allows you to use a compatible `h-bridge` (L298N, DRV8871, MX1508, BTS7960, L9110S, DRV8833, TB6612, etc.) to control a fan (or motor/solenoid).

# Example configuration entry
fan:
- platform: hbridge
id: my_fan
name: "Living Room Fan"
pin_a: motor_forward_pin
pin_b: motor_reverse_pin
# enable_pin: motor_enable
decay_mode: slow # slow decay mode (braking) or fast decay (coasting).
Configuration variables:
------------------------
- **pin_a** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the
:ref:`float output <output>` connected to Pin A (alternatively IN1, etc.) of the h-bridge.
- **pin_b** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the
:ref:`float output <output>` connected to Pin B (alternatively IN2, etc.) of the h-bridge.
- **enable_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the
:ref:`float output <output>` connected to the Enable pin of the h-bridge (if h-bridge uses enable).
- **decay_mode** (*Optional*, string): The decay mode you want to use with
the h-bridge. Either ``slow`` (braking) or ``fast`` (coasting). Defaults to ``slow``.
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name for this fan.
- **oscillation_output** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): The id of the
:ref:`output <output>` to use for the oscillation state of this fan. Default is empty.
- **speed_count** (*Optional*, int): Set the number of supported discrete speed levels. The value is used
to calculate the percentages for each speed. E.g. ``2`` means that you have 50% and 100% while ``100``
will allow 1% increments in the output. Defaults to ``100``.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Fan Component <config-fan>`.
.. _fan-hbridge_brake_action:
``fan.hbridge.brake`` Action
----------------------------
Set all h-bridge pins high, shorting the fan/motor's windings and forcing the motor to actively stop.

then:
- fan.hbridge.brake: my_fan
