 `SET_FAN_SPEED FAN=config_name SPEED=<speed>` This command sets the
 speed of a fan. "speed" must be between 0.0 and 1.0.
 
+`SET_FAN_SPEED PIN=config_name TEMPLATE=<template_name>
+[<param_x>=<literal>]`: If `TEMPLATE` is specified then it assigns a
+[display_template](Config_Reference.md#display_template) to the given
+fan. For example, if one defined a `[display_template
+my_fan_template]` config section then one could assign
+`TEMPLATE=my_fan_template` here. The display_template should produce a
+string containing a floating point number with the desired value. The
+template will be continuously evaluated and the fan will be
+automatically set to the resulting speed. One may set display_template
+parameters to use during template evaluation (parameters will be
+parsed as Python literals). If TEMPLATE is an empty string then this
+command will clear any previous template assigned to the pin (one can
+then use `SET_FAN_SPEED` commands to manage the values directly).
