GUI?

GUI support maybe?
and a easy setup? like apt install?
I don't know. I don't want to build it myself.

@snaildos No need to build it yourself.
A prebuilt binary is provided here : https://github.com/heXeo/ubnt-fan-speed/releases

This is a drop-in replacement for the original binary.
If you think some improvement can be done in regard of the installation process, feel free to contribute and open a PR 😉

Alright, I'm scared about these settings, Is there some information I should know off? Is there any GUI config generator?

@snaildos No, there is no GUI config generator.
Frankly, i don't see anything you could mess up if you follow the instructions in the readme.
Please make a backup of your configuration first, that way if anything goes wrong you will be able to restore from it.

You can use the configuration file provided in the readme as a starting point, it will mimic the behavior of the stock binary.

What is the default configuration set on? Is it what ubuiqti devices are normally set on? Or is it more cooled?

@snaildos It's configured the same as what the device normally do.
If you want to force the fan to spin at a minimum level you have to change minimum_fan_speed to a value between 0 and 255 (0 is what the device normally do) and enable force_minimum_fan_speed by setting it to 1.

So if you want the fan the spin at a minimum of 50% of it's maximum RPM all the time in order to make it more cooled, you can use the following settings

minimum_fan_speed=127
force_minimum_fan_speed=1

NOTE: this is the default device behaviour if a HDD/SSD is present in the drive bay.

minimum_fan_speed is only effective if force_minimum_fan_speed is enabled.
