Use Siri to set HomeKit AC to fan-only mode

What do you say to Siri to set the air conditioner connected via HomeKit to run the fan continuously and disable cooling? In the cool mornings, I like to open the windows and run the central fan. I've tried a few things but Siri doesn't understand. Other Siri commands work fine, like "Set the thermostat to 76 degrees".

iPhone, iOS 10

Hello,

Control your home with Siri

After you add accessories to Home, you can control your accessories and scenes with Siri commands. Here are some things you can ask Siri, depending on your accessories, their names, and your scenes:

“Turn off the lights in the family room.”
“Set brightness to 55%.”
“Set the temperature to 68 degrees.”
"Did I lock the front door?”
"I’m home."
“Turn on the fan in the office.”
“Set my reading scene.”
“Turn off the lights in the Chicago house.”

When you lock your device, some accessories can’t be controlled by Siri commands. For example, you need to unlock your device before you can use Siri to unlock your door.

Siri availability varies by country, region, and language. Learn which Siri features are supported in which countries and regions.
