#!/usr/bin/env bash # IPMI fan ACTUATOR for the Dell R730 PVE host (192.168.1.127). # # THIN ACTUATOR — the control logic lives entirely in Home Assistant. HA owns # the curve thresholds, the duty %, the bias, and the final setpoint: it # publishes ONE number, `sensor.r730_fan_command_pct` (= computed fan % incl. # bias and any manual/lock override). This daemon does NOT compute anything — it # just reads that command each loop and applies it over IPMI, and reads the raw # sensors (temp/rpm) that feed HA/Prometheus. # (Until 2026-06-07 the curve+hysteresis were computed HERE; moved to HA so # all tuning + the setpoint determination happen on the dashboard.) # # Safety (manual fan mode bypasses the iDRAC's own curve, so we backstop it). # These are INDEPENDENT of HA — the actuator protects the hardware on its own: # - On ANY exit (crash/stop/TERM) the EXIT trap hands fans back to Dell # automatic control (raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x01). systemd ExecStopPost repeats. # - CPU >= CEILING -> hand back to Dell auto until it recovers (RESUME_BELOW # held for RESUME_STABLE s). The firmware's own emergency cooling takes over. # - IPMI read failures (>= MAX_IPMI_FAILS) -> hand back to Dell auto. # - HA unreachable / command missing / STALE -> hand back to Dell auto. # # Deploy: scp to /usr/local/bin/fan-control (strip .sh) + install # fan-control.service + /etc/fan-control.env. Same pattern as apply-mbps-caps. # Tests: test-fan-control.sh (sources this file, exercises the pure functions). # Design: infra/docs/plans/2026-06-04-pve-fan-control-design.md # Runbook: infra/docs/runbooks/fan-control.md set -uo pipefail # ---- configuration (override via /etc/fan-control.env) ---- : "${IPMITOOL:=ipmitool}" : "${LOOP_INTERVAL:=15}" # seconds between apply cycles : "${CEILING:=83}" # degC: hand back to Dell auto at/above this : "${RESUME_BELOW:=75}" # degC: eligible to resume manual below this... : "${RESUME_STABLE:=120}" # ...once held that long : "${HA_URL:=http://192.168.1.8:8123}" : "${HA_TOKEN:=}" # long-lived ha-sofia token; empty => Dell auto (no control) : "${COMMAND_ENTITY:=sensor.r730_fan_command_pct}" # HA-computed fan %; we only apply it : "${STALE_SECS:=1800}" # command older than this => stale.
