Available options depend on your version, permissions and hardware. For missing actions, see Security and Diagnostics.
Step by step
- Review CPU temperature, load, memory and host data; choose a history metric.
- For a supported fan, test temporary PWM/duration with appropriate permission.
- Review wiring, GPIO, thermal curve/hysteresis, save the profile and return to Automatic.
Options explained
- Manual
- panel PWM 40–100%, duration 10–3,600 seconds; check override expiration.
- Profile
- BCM GPIO 18/14 as wired; never drive a motor directly without appropriate interface.
- Curve/hysteresis
- temperature sets PWM; hysteresis prevents rapid switching.
- Missing RPM
- does not mean stopped; authority identifies the controller.
- Docker/no hardware
- metrics may work without physical fan control.
Troubleshooting
Do not invent GPIO connections for unsupported hardware. Check cooling/power for high temperatures; manual control must not defeat protections.
