December 31, 20223 yr Hey all, I just moved my old TS-470+ over to unRAID. One thing that QNAP did well was controlling the fans automatically. I was just researching how I can push that functionality over to unraid and came across the QNAP-EC plugin, but there isn't much info how to properly get this working on unraid. Has anyone done this themselves? I see this feature request, which I commented on.
January 6, 20233 yr Hello gregzee, I was at the same point as you and through some trial and error got the Autofan working with the QNAP-EC plugin. Since the auto-detect function did not work for me, I entered the path manually. PWM controller: qnap_ec_pwm1 PWM fan: /sys/devices/platform/qnap-ec/hwmon/hwmon1/fan1_input I hope I could help with this
April 5, 20233 yr Hello hispeedsurfer, How did you get the qnap-ec plugin working? Did you have to compile it yourself, or is it available for download?

I might try this .. becoming a bit fustraded with my TS-653D QNAP. Running Unraid on it for a few mnonths and at some point I had the Auto Fan working, but it somehow just stopped working. edit: OMG .. It worked .. haha, been folling aroound with it for the past few days, and this just worked! THANK YOU! Edited April 9, 20233 yr by Knuspar update in stead of adding another post

I can see from the screen shot that its in Settings, but from there I have nothing that would indicate that the plugin is there. Where do I go to set up the fan so I can stop it screaming at me all the time? Install autofan from ca

June 30, 20242 yr after a lot of playing I was about to get mine to see the fans, 🙂 so my question is - at the moment I have send mine to the following and it will spin down the fans, but will the fans come back on, if the temp is to high ?
