Loading sensor driver

[LSL1337]

Hello,

I added az NZXT Smart v2 fan controller to my unraid setup.

In 6.11.0 changelog there is a line about it:

Quote

 

added additional sensor drivers:

CONFIG_SENSORS_NZXT_SMART2: NZXT RGB & Fan Controller/Smart Device v2

 

 

How can I load these drivers, so they are shown in the UI, and they can be used to control the fanspeed with custom scripts via 'standard hwmon'.

 

I installed the docker, which shows these fans inside the docker, and I can control them manually, but the docker can't read hdd temps.

I'd prefer to use the fans without docker (liquidctl) anyway.

The docker's readme also mentiones, that this device can be used through hwmon, and the drivers are part of the 5.13 kernel, which is i guess it is mentioned in the 6.11.0 changelog. (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/hwmon/nzxt-smart2.html)

 

soooo, how do i load these drivers, and 'expose' these fans to unraid?

 

Thanks!

bump? anyone? seems like an easy thing to do, if you know your way around linux/unraid

have you tried sensors-detect and sensors?

 

root@computenode:~# modprobe nzxt-smart2
root@computenode:~# lsmod | grep nzxt
nzxt_smart2            16384  0
root@computenode:~#

thanks for the reply!

sensors doesn't show any values from the nzxt device, just from my normal sensors. sensors detect doesn't find the device either.

 

the modprobe command didn't bring up anything, lsmod just showed the same thing as you wrote.

any ideas?

did you try sensor command after do modprobe?

yes, i tried it with nzxt-smart2 and nzxt_smart2, and after that 'sensors', but it didn't add any new sensors

at least it didn't throw error for the modprobe, so there is a driver with this name.

when I launch the docker, I need to tell it which USB it's connected to.

can I somehow give this info to the sensors or sensors_detect app?

Docker can be given a device with --device flag, something like --device /dev/ttyUSB0

the docker works with "config type: device" and '/dev/bus/usb/001/006', this was not the issue.

my question was do i need to somehow pass this USB id to the unraid sensor app?

I don't believe that should be needed. I have a corsair psu with corsair link connected to a usb header, and it is detected fine without anything special
