ok. if you have time to do some testing, because I don’t have your setup, I have some ideas to calibrate the addon to the device at startup. I’m going to need to know a few details and I don’t want to distract from this thread. Send me a PM if interested and we can talk on some other service
Today’s update, v28d brings support for Debian. It will detect which i2c bus has the Argon One based on the results of i2cdetect run on each bus. The last bus with a line including only 1a will be selected.
I don’t anticipate this to be a problem as i2c is generally unused on most systems. However, on Debian, the buses they use contain more used slots than unused with multiple on each line.
So if this does cause a problem for anyone, please try it now and switch over to argon one linear. I will try to maintain backwards compatibility via a argon one legacy package sometime in the future after linear is converted as well.

Hi all…sorry for the potential stupid question.
I read about the Argon case a few minutes ago and saw that in order to use it you need to install a script. AM I correct in saying, that this addon is the equivalent to this?
Correct. However, on HA OS you’ll also need to separately perform the enablement of i2c.
Ok. What is the i2c used for?
It’s the communication mechanism used by Argon One.
Perfect. Thank you. Assembled everything and it works great. I think my Pi never ran cooler 
Thanks for the work!

This did it for me, thank you all!
I had tried the I2c enabler addon but it was not successful. I did multiple ‘pull the plug’ power offs letting it boot up each time. Didn’t work. I eventually plugged my Pi in via HDMI and followed HA’s guide to enable it. Then the Active Cooling mod worked for a bit but after another reboot it stopped working again. Said that I2c was not enabled. After adding the rpi-i2c.conf file it started to work again.
Hi,
After struggling with the I2C configuration I was still getting the “Argon One not detected” error.
Then I saw this post, so I switched to the Linear add-on and that solved my problem.
Thanks for settings this up.
Just a small word of advice: it is hard to find support details in one long thread that keeps growing. Maybe it’s possible to manage that in different threads, or as issues on the Github.
Also, the Argon fan entity cannot be added to the UI, since it doesn’t have a unique id:
This entity ('sensor.argon_one_addon_fan_speed') does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the [documentation](https://www.home-assistant.io/faq/unique_id) for more detail
Thanks
Yeah, the linear version does an automatic check to find non-HAOS devices.
The fan speed is in the UI, but it can’t be managed. Check the default sensor category and it will be there.

You have to pull-the-plug-reboot twice after I2C. Once to place the files, and once to initialize.
done several times but nothing to do, I also turned off and unplugged the RPi4 but no usual problem
