Changing the fan speed is expressed as percentage even though this is not exactly true. There's an automatic time limit for the changes (3 hours for lower speed, 18 hours for higher speed), after which the fans will return to the native level. This is to prevent accidents with faulty network connection or bugs in automations. For long-term changes, use an automation which updates the level regularly.
