# Runbook — PVE R730 fan-control daemon Presence-aware IPMI fan controller on the PVE host (192.168.1.127). Runs the CPU cool when the garage is empty, quiet when someone's in the garage. Design: `infra/docs/plans/2026-06-04-pve-fan-control-design.md`. ## What it is - `/usr/local/bin/fan-control` — bash daemon (source: `infra/scripts/fan-control.sh`). - `fan-control.service` — systemd unit (`Type=simple`, restarts on failure). - `/etc/fan-control.env` — config incl. the ha-sofia token (chmod 600, not in git). ## Quick status ```bash ssh root@192.168.1.127 systemctl status fan-control ssh root@192.168.1.127 'journalctl -u fan-control -n 30 --no-pager' ssh root@192.168.1.127 'ipmitool sdr type fan | grep ^Fan1; ipmitool sdr type temperature | grep "^Temp "' ``` Log lines look like `temp=63C mode=cool fan=65% (was 45%)`. ## Disable / roll back to stock firmware control ```bash ssh root@192.168.1.127 'systemctl disable --now fan-control && ipmitool raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x01' ``` The unit's `ExecStopPost` already restores Dell auto on stop, so the explicit `raw ... 0x01` is belt-and-suspenders. The box is back to its stock curve. ## Tune Edit `/etc/fan-control.env` on the host, then `systemctl restart fan-control`. Common knobs: - `HOLD_SECS` — how long to stay quiet after the garage door last moved (default 900 = 15 min). - `CEILING` — temp at which we abandon manual control and let the firmware take over (default 83). - Curves themselves are arrays (`COOL_CURVE`, `QUIET_CURVE`) near the top of the script. ## Deploy / update ```bash cd infra scp scripts/fan-control.sh root@192.168.1.127:/usr/local/bin/fan-control ssh root@192.168.1.127 chmod +x /usr/local/bin/fan-control scp scripts/fan-control.service root@192.168.1.127:/etc/systemd/system/fan-control.service # first install only — create /etc/fan-control.env from fan-control.env.example with the HA token ssh root@192.168.1.127 'systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart fan-control' ``` ## HA token `/etc/fan-control.env` holds a long-lived ha-sofia token used to read `sensor.garage_door_state_bg`. Mint via Home Assistant → Profile → Security → Long-lived access tokens, or reuse the existing ha-sofia token. If the token is missing/empty, the daemon still runs but **COOL-only** (no quiet mode) and logs `ha_reachable=0`. ## Symptoms & checks | Symptom | Check | |---------|-------| | Fans stuck loud | `journalctl -u fan-control` — is `mode=fallback`? (ceiling breach or IPMI fail). Check CPU temp. | | Never goes quiet | Token valid? `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://192.168.1.8:8123/api/states/sensor.garage_door_state_bg`. Garage door reporting? | | Fans flapping | Increase `DEADBAND`. | | Service won't start | `systemctl status fan-control`; check `ipmitool` works: `ipmitool sdr type temperature`. | | Box left in manual after crash | `ipmitool raw 0x30 0x30 0x01 0x01` to force Dell auto. | ## Verify presence wiring ```bash # one iteration, real IPMI + HA, no daemon loop: ssh root@192.168.1.127 'set -a; . /etc/fan-control.env; set +a; RUN_ONCE=1 /usr/local/bin/fan-control' ``` With the garage closed for >15 min you should see `mode=cool`; within 15 min of the door moving, `mode=quiet`.
