+## HA control (added 2026-06-05, on the host daemon)
+
+Delivered ahead of the cron migration (which is Vault-gated) by teaching the
+**host daemon** to poll two ha-sofia helpers each loop (`fc_resolve`):
+`input_select.r730_fan_mode` (auto/cool/quiet/manual) +
+`input_number.r730_fan_manual_pct`. `auto` = the garage-presence curve above;
+cool/quiet force that curve; manual holds a fixed %; `CEILING` still overrides.
+HA owns the setpoint + a 60-min auto-revert-to-auto automation
+(`automation.r730_fan_mode_auto_revert`) — the daemon just polls and actuates.
+Monitoring + control live on the dashboard-it "Server" view (REST sensors: fan
+RPM from the redfish exporter; mode/target-% from the Pushgateway). The same
+logic already exists in the Python controller (`r730-fan-control/`) for the
+eventual in-cluster CronJob; when that deploys it supersedes the host daemon.

+## HA control (Home Assistant)
+
+The daemon polls two ha-sofia helpers each loop, so you can drive the fans from
+HA — **dashboard-it → "Server" view → Fans**:
+- `input_select.r730_fan_mode` — **auto** (garage-presence curve, default),
+  **cool** / **quiet** (force that curve), **manual** (hold a fixed %).
+- `input_number.r730_fan_manual_pct` — the % used in `manual` mode (slider).
+
+Any non-`auto` override **auto-reverts to `auto` after 60 min**
+(`automation.r730_fan_mode_auto_revert` on ha-sofia), so a forgotten override
+can't run the fans wrong indefinitely. `CEILING` (83 °C) still overrides
+everything → Dell auto. An HA change is applied within one daemon loop (~15 s).
+
+Monitoring sensors on the same view: `sensor.r730_fan_speed` (redfish exporter),
+`sensor.r730_fan_control_target` + `sensor.r730_fan_control_mode` (Pushgateway).
+
+The HA objects (helpers, the auto-revert automation, the REST sensors in
+`rest_resources/{idrac_redfish_exporter,fan_control}.yaml`, and the dashboard
+cards) live on **ha-sofia** and are auto-git-tracked there by the version-control
+add-on — they are NOT in this repo.
