Dimmer sensor

@boblasure So you effectively want 3 children, one for each PWM? You will need to extend the sketch to handle two additional pins/children. @korttoma has already done the work...
Here is his sketch that handles four channels.

Can this dimmer sketch be used to control the speed of a fan ? If yes then what are the changes I need to do to this sketch. As part of a project I am working on, I intend to control a AC 230V fan using arduino. I was planning to create a sketch which explicitly controls a AC FAN.
By doing this am I reinventing the wheel or someone has done this already which I can use. -

I have the dimmer circuit with me already. I am looking for the sketch to integrate this with the sensor and send message to the gateway using MQTT for controlling the speed of the fan.
Note: I am using a custom controller build using Ruby on Rails(WIP). and ruby-mqtt to send message to the MQTT gateway which is running mysensor code.

Would this be of any help? ->

Can the dimmer led actuator example be used to dim a AC 60w incandescent bulb connected 220v connection. If yes what are the modification needed.
when it comes to controlling the speed of a FAN or dimming a normal tungsten filament bulb. I have found so many answers but not a single one which explains all.

All the dimmer examples does is to change the level on an PWM output according to a 0-100% dimmer slider in the controller. What you connect to the PWM output is up to you. In the example sensor device I posted I have connected a transistor that controls the speed of a 12VDC fan.
I have also maid another sensor that shows as a dimmer in the controller but in the arduino it controls 3 relays instead ( there are not so many rules you have to follow here you can create what you need, that's the beauty of MySensors ).
