Hi there, after updating to 6.12.12 using the Dynamix Fan Control, its stopped detecting "highest disk temp" value and is reporting 0º causing the fans to run at 0 rpm. 

Aug 21 19:31:40 unraid autofan: Highest disk temp is 0C, adjusting fan speed from: FULL (100% @ 0rpm) to: OFF (0% @ 0rpm)

This was fine with 6.12.11. 

Version 2023.02.05a was included in the update and theres no errors in the logs during the installation or afterwards. 

In the GUI management settings I could detect the PWM and min fan setting. 

I've disabled the plugin and resumed fan speeds.  

I'm in the same situation. Right after the Unraid update Dynamix Fan Control has started reading the disks temp wrongly as 0°....

Updating to 6.12.13 fixed the issue, at least for me. The only drawback now is that the percentage of the fan speed  is not shown in the GUI anymore; it stays always at 0%...

 

P.S. I've reinstalled the Dynamix System Autofan plugin and this fixed the fan percentage issue which I was talking about before...

It's a bit of a kludge, but I renamed those on the dashboard using the Theme Engine plugin with some javascript.

 

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    $( ".fan_view td:contains('FAN 0')" ).text("DRIVES (exhaust)");
    $( ".fan_view td:contains('FAN 1')" ).text("DRIVES (intake)");
    $( ".fan_view td:contains('FAN 2')" ).text("CPU");
    $( ".fan_view td:contains('FAN 3')" ).text("CASE (rear)");
    $( ".fan_view td:contains('FAN 4')" ).text("NVMe / PCIe");
});

 

Yeah, would be cool if those were nameable in the plugin itself, though.

 

I was looking for something like this.  Here's the updated selectors for current UNRAID (6.12.13):

$( "tbody[title='Fan Information'] span:contains('FAN 1')" ).text("Case Fan");
$( "tbody[title='Fan Information'] span:contains('FAN 2')" ).text("AIO Fan");
$( "tbody[title='Fan Information'] span:contains('FAN 3')" ).text("AIO Pump");

So I believe I spoke too soon...  this problem is persisting.  I'm only able to fix it by selecting 'DETECT' under the PWM fan setting and then choosing apply.  The value in the settings doesn't change when I re-detect it, but it seems to update the setting in the running app.

 

 

What I noticed, is that the value in the settings doesn't match what's in the config file.  Settings shows 'hwmon4' while the config file shows 'hwmon2'.  It's as if the settings are not being pushed to the startup config file, although the settings page shows the correct values after a reboot.

 

 

I tried to modify the config to match what's in the settings page, but then it returns a permissions denied error when starting.

 

Any ideas?

Hello, I'm facing the exact same issue (no fan after a reboot until I click on Detect button to force it to start even if the plugin is in working state).

Anybody was able to find a solution ?

Thanks

Is it possible to have the 'Minimum PWM value' active all the time?  As it is now, the fans shutoff when the hard disks sleep.  It would also be desirable for the option to have the CPU fan to react to CPU temp rather than hard disk temp.

The min pwm value determines how slow the fans go, set it to the lowest speed you want when drive are spun down.

 

as for the cpu, the cpu fan should always and only be controlled by the bios! It has a seperate header for a reason!

Hi!

Maybe someone can clarify whats going on with my Unraid because i been trying to figure this out for almost 3 days now without luck.
I managed to setup a backup script with user scripts, set mount/unmount scripts and also set a WOL cronjob on my UDM.

I tested manually and it worked fine, BUT only when i put Unraid to sleep with the "Sleep" button in dashboard. This way i can send WOL fine and it wakes up as needed.
But when i use S3sleep plugin, for whatever reason it does not work. I have to press the physical button on the device to wake up again.

i made sure that the NIC is using "g" and everything seems to be set correctly but still i cant get it to work.
Does the plugin do something different besides monitoring activity etc. rather than using the sleep button?

Maybe i could get it to work with userscripts and have it monitor array and network activity as well but i dont know how to script that tbh..

ANY advice appreciated.

TIA!

 

*EDIT

I might be wrong with my assumption - i think it is related to how long sleep mode is active. If the server is in sleep for like 30-50mins i noticed the WOL is not working. When i check ARP table on my UDM i can see that the server is showing up with the IP but in "HWadress" it shows incomplete.

i assume that the NIC is going in a sort of sleep mode? I know how to prevent this in windows but how do i do it in Unraid?
S3 is enabled but i have not found a specific WOL setting in this bios. i am using a Mini PC from CWWK and it actually has a ton of BIOS options but no WOL setting. It should be enabled tho since it works if Unraid is not in sleep for that long.

Since a long time allready I do have following code in the go file to resolve a wol problem with wol.

Didn`t test if it`s still needed, it`s just there since.

ethtool -s eth0 wol g

 

And as well I found a user script with this code running at startup of the array. 😁

 

So there was a problem with not setted "g" in the past.

thanks for your input!

altough i think the plugin is doing that already since there is an option in the settings to set it to "g" before sleep.
I will try it still and see if it helps for sure, thank you.

I also tried to add a custom command in the plugin settings before it triggers sleep, which sets a RTC wake up.
Same here - working for like 50mins after sleep but after that it stops working.

I have a strong feeling that my NIC is going to full powersaving / sleep mode or something because in my routers ARP table i can see that there is no arp reply of the unraid machine...

Will post results once tested!🫡

Hi everybody. Hope I don't disturb too much, with my wishlist/request.

Following a video showing useful Apps, I installed Dynamix Day and Night. I tried to follow directions for the whole API stuff, saw that usually you need to pay for it, and drop it.

 

So, I have to ask: why to have all that precise system, instead of offering (also?) a simple "passive" way, something like:

start night theme: [ 21:00 ]

stop night theme: [ 6:00 ] 

 

Probably this could be enough for simple (or frugal) persons like me.

Schedules, Date Time, and File Manager all blacklisted now as well. It would be nice to get some heads up and explanation why these are being blacklisted ahead of time. I assume their functionality is being integrated in future versions but it would be nice to know for sure because we don't all yet have those future versions.

 

*edit* hmm after going back to that tab it forced me to refresh the apps page and these aren't showing blacklisted any longer, not sure what is going on lol

I agree since bing api is dead, mapquest and google require payment option on file for even free account now in case something happens and you go over they can charge you. manual time entry, UTC offset, or maybe a different geocoding provider like the opensource QGIS would be nice. but this plugin is a small nice to have and i could understand if the dev doesn't want to invest more time into it.

Hi,

 

Just tried the Fan Control plugin. Have installed the ITE IT87 drivers, and can now see fan controllers and I can see fan rpm data on the dashboard. But I have a few weird problems - firstly this is the mapping from the logs I seem to have this mapping:

 

/sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm1 --> /sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/fan2_input
/sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm2 --> /sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/fan4_input
/sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm3 --> /sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/fan2_input
/sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm4 --> /sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/fan1_input
/sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm5 --> /sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/fan1_input
/sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm6 --> /sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/fan2_input

 

Now I only have three fans connected (CPU, Case 1, Case2/3) - so a total of three fans sort of makes sense, but not the multiple PWM assignments - I thought that should be 1:1 and where there is no connected fan just plain 'nothing'....

 

Then, I also can't tell which fan is which - for example, which one is the CPU? I don't want to mess with that one....but let's pretend I don't care.....if I set all of them to be managed I can see in the logs that the system is trying to manage the fans:

 

e.g. adjusting fan speed from: FULL (100% @ 1102rpm) to: OFF (0% @ 1165rpm)

 

But nothing actually changes? The dashboard shows that the fan speed remains constant - nothing slows or drops to 0%.

 

I'm running on a Gigabyte Aorus Z790M Elite AX, with fans connected to CPU_FAN and SYS-FAN1/2/3. I've not make any changes to the the config (e.g. adding acpi_enforce_resources=lax and modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628 to the flash config) - I can do this, but because it seemed to be working I wasn't sure I wanted to mess with it....maybe this *is* required to make it actually work?

 

What am I missing? 😞

/sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/pwm6 --> /sys/devices/platform/it87.2624/hwmon/hwmon5/fan2_input

Have split my double fan, but the weirdness continues:

 

BIOS:

CPU = CPU

CPU_OPT = Unused

FAN1 = Drive Bay - REAR

FAN2 = Drive Bay - FRONT LOWER

FAN3 = Drive Bay - FRONT UPPER

PUMP = Unused

 

UNRAID Dashboard:

FAN1 = CPU

FAN2 = Drive Bay - REAR

FAN3 = Drive Bay - FRONT LOWER

FAN4 = Drive Bay - FRONT UPPER

 

PWM Mappings in Fan Control:

PWM1 = FAN2?

PWM2 = FAN2?

PWM3 = FAN1 = CPU???

PWM4 = FAN1 = CPU???

PWM5 = FAN3?

PWM6 = FAN2?

 

And of course nothing can actually be controlled - however I have verified that the fan rpm data is correct - so the data is right as jamming a finger in a fan quickly results in 0 rpm.

The other off thing is that while the control doesn't really seem to work all the fans are set to run at 100%.....so the unraid machine sounds like a hovercraft....not sure how to control or stop that either...  😞

Hi @bonienl, thanks for bring such great fan controller to unraid. This is regarding issue of "Auto Fan Controller"

 

I found an issue that the fan controller cannot adjust fan speed based on NVMe SSD temperature.

 

I have 5 HDDs in the array and have 1 NVMe SSD as cache, FAN is set to monitor all disks temperature. i set all HDDs spin down after 30 mins if no activity, and never spin down for SSD.

 

But once all 5 HDDs spin down, FAN stops at the same time, while SSD's temperature is above the limt i setup. i got logs "autofan: Highest disk temp is 0C, adjusting fan speed from: 230 (90% @ 1681rpm) to: OFF (0% @ 0rpm)"

 

Would you please check the potential issue on this? Thank you

I reported this issue 2 years ago, along with the fix. Sad to see it's still an issue. But I understand that developers are volunteering their own time, and they have their own lives, which should always takes priority. In any case, take a look at my post and the associated fix. I have a local fix in place, and set it up so the local fix is applied at Unraid startup (place in the go file):

I just wanted to point out that this is still happening 2 years later and it hasn't been fixed yet.

 

I currently have my disk spinning down but I'm using an NVME as a cache drive. Whenever I'm doing things that only utilise the cache (no HDD spinning up) the drive raises in temperature but the fans do not kick on.

I know it's super late, but I just saw this. Not sure how I missed it the first time. Hopefully my fix worked for you.

Hi @Phoenix Down, i modified autofan config "/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.system.autofan/scripts/autofan" with your method, now its working as charm. Really appreciated.

 

To achieve the goal of fixing the issue on unraid startup, do i just need to append the path of autofan config "/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.system.autofan/scripts/autofan" to "/boot/config/go" file?

I just checked, and I misspoke. It has been so long that I forgot what I did. I actually have it set up as bash script that is executed daily via User Script. I seem to recall my modifications kept getting wiped out. Probably from every time Autofan updates. It's possibly less of an issue now, since the last Autofan update was in February 2023.

 

Here is the script. You will need to substitute the path to your own modified autofan script. Once the modified script is copied over, you need to kill then restart autofan for each of your fans, so the updated version can take effect. You can find the exact commands in the system log when Autofan starts. Don't just copy mine, since the argument values are specific to your system.

Hey there

 

Whenever I boot up my machine, the plugin doesn't run (it says "Status: Stopped") until I change something in one of the configurations and click apply.

Is that a bug or is it intended behavior?

What plugin? This thread is for a dozen of them.

How can the server shutdown while doing a parity check? (S3 Sleep plugin)

Hi regarding the autofan plugin how can I set a minimun fan rpm if my system only has 1 system fan as cpu is passively cooled. 

 

As soon as drives spin down the fan stops which is nice but I would like to keep it at minimun rpm because cpu altakes some airflow from the system fan. thanks

Set min pwm to as slow as you want it to go. Not 0. Usually 80-100 works well
