Hey @arrows. I just noticed this is theholyroger’s fork from adamoutler. Adam’s repo is usually pretty good at keeping it updated. I have both so I got confused at who was who. So @ TheHolyRoger may have broke his fork.
@adamoutler Is there any way you could scrape ole holyroger’s to add a few sensors? That’s the only reason I have his lol. It would make urs more robust. :wink:

610

I’m not willing to add any sensors. This is intended to be lightweight and not processor intensive so it saves power. I am trying to keep it minimal.

611

Ok I understand totally keeping it simplistic… Not sure what you mean by battery?

612

Power. I meant power.

613

lol I thought you had a portable setup or something. I get yah :+1:

614

@adamoutler I just setup my new Argon One M.2 and installed your fan control add-on. Works perfect!
Two questions though:

  1. I don’t seem to find much difference between 1% or 3% and 100% fan speed. I 'didn’t measure the fan rpm :slight_smile: but the fan sound remains unaffected whether 1% or 100%. It sounds always like full speed.

  2. I noticed huge increase in backup size after installing this add on. There is one file in backup “local_argon_one_temp.tar.gz” which is more than 10MB! Rest of backup files constitutes only about 2MB. Although file size is not at all a concern as there is far more than enough space on disk :slight_smile: , but just to control a fan the whole backup file size increasing by 6 times kind of feels like overkill :slight_smile: . Why is this file so huge?

615

#1 is hard. You should notice a major difference. To troubleshoot you’ll need to check the logs during startup and then install RPi OS and use the official tool to see if there’s a difference.

#2. Certain versions get built locally and would probably be fully backed up if you’re also backing up the contents.

616

Thanks @jimmyz51501. I can’t remember why I switched to theholyroger’s fork. I’ve switched back now. Nice to have the I2C part work smoothly regardless of the repo.

Thanks @adamoutler for giving a couple of options now!

Hello,

And after a few seconds i am getting Temperature readings so far nicely.
Running:
ArgonOne Active Cooling Version 30a

  • Core 2023.11.1
  • Supervisor 2023.11.0
  • Operating System Debian 12.2
  • Frontend 20231030.1
    Hardware Pi4/4GB

Any idea what i am doing wrong?

618

Isn’t this:

the problem?

619

But HA is running smoothly and observer says:

Home Assistant observer

|Supervisor:|Connected|
|Supported:|Supported|
|Healthy:|Healthy|

Also in the setting there is no hint of the safe mode activated.
A few times i had an issue when HA was really running in Safe Mode → but this was always a fault of a configuration. But actually it is running fine.

620

Works perfectly for me.

 Add-on version: 30a
 System: Home Assistant OS 11.1  (aarch64 / raspberrypi4-64)
 Home Assistant Core: 2023.11.2
 Home Assistant Supervisor: 2023.11.3

This i2c add-on is really handy btw, thanks.

621

I managed to resolve it through some combination of

  • re-flash HA to the SD card, restore from backup while not using the Argon case
  • enable I2C by modifying the SD card
  • reboot many times

Fingers crossed it doesn’t regress again

Btw about the logs you posted - do they get logged to disk? If so, wdyt about a configuration flag to turn off those logs? (I can write the code)

Thanks for all your work!

Did you modify it? This doesn’t seem to be detecting the proper device.

625

No, It’s original. Just some DVB-Ts tuners are plugged in now, but same result was before with absolutely clear installation.

626

I have the same problem, please help fix it.
The error log is the same as yours.

627

Works like a dream with HAOS. It used to work with Debian. Maybe someone could jump in a d try to troubleshoot. I don’t run Debian.
