Error on installing a script for case fan control and power button from command line

Hi there
Total newbie but like to learn new stuff.
Ive installed home assistent on a raspberry pi 4
Installed the terminal, and opened the ui of terminal

I write the command:
curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh | bash
to install a script for my case fan and on/off button.
the case is a Argon 1 for raspberry pi 4

This is the results I get back from the terminal UI window in home assistant:

Our Cli:
$ hassio help
➜ ~ curl https://download.argon40.com/argon1.sh | bash

sudo: apt-get: command not found


Please also connect device to the internet and restart installation.

Any help would be great…

Hi
I struggle with the same problem.
Did you find a way around?
Guess, as the fan control is just over some gpio’s it might be possible to get it running by HA automation.

Cheers

Hi

Yes also hoping for a solution on this.

Thanks

Also having this problem. I just assumed it would stay at 100% regardless of temp… Or adjust temp itself.

Any word on if this got enabled in Hass.io?

I have the same problem !!!
Any solution please ?

I have made a little progress, but it still does not work yet. I think it is pretty important to get this working as my Argon case was pretty toasty this afternoon and the fan is not running. :frowning:

First, I manually installed the following packages using SSL terminal in putty:

apk add sudo
apk add py3-rpigpio
apk add py-smbus
apk add i2c-tools (which may have already been added when I added py-smbus)
apk add raspberrypi v41-utils (may not be needed, not sure)

I also deleted the package check portion of the script as the package names were different, which is why I installed them by hand (the ones I could find for Alpine Linux at least).

I then put the downloaded agron1.sh file into my HASSIO/config folder as it was the only place that I could copy it from my Windows10 desktop.

Typing “bash argon1.sh” proceeds to run the script, but it appears Alipne Linux does not use systemd so the config files are not created.

I will keep trying, but I am not very skilled at programming. I have attached the argon1.sh file to this post. Maybe someone else can help. :slight_smile:

Maybe na issue in https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/issues would help.
I’m considering buying Argon One case, but without support of HA it is useless (I’d like to have fan and power button support)

I would have to see if there is an enhancement request area. It is not really an issue with HA since it is not a part of home assistant.

HA can run or Raspberry Pi and this is a Raspberry Pi case so it’s related in some way.
There are DIY solutions for power buttons so if HA would support this not only Argon One owners will be happy.

Hi,

Does the fan works at least without the script installed with the possibility to plug it on the 5V or on the 3V to be quiet ?

Thanks

I believe the fan is connected to the controller board.

After looking at the script code this doesn’t look that hard.
Everything regards speed control can be simplified to a single line:

bus.write_byte(0x1a,percentage)

I’m sure creating a custom component for this won’t be that hard. The integration would need a single service (according to the docs: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/dev_101_services/)
We can monitor CPU temp from Home Assistant, so having a service would allow us to create an automation that would turn on the fan at a specific temperature.
Power events could be done via custom events, this way the user could assign different actions to the power button (not only shut down and reboot).
I could create an integration for argon case and fan hat, but I don’t own the case or the fan.
If someone has a discount code for argon40 shop or could help be getting the case or fan hat that would help me to set up the dev environment.

Have you had any success yet? I just installed the Argon ONE case today. :grinning:

They are out of stock on the Argon One website right now (there are other listings at other sites, but the markup is ridiculous. The case is only $25 from the Argon One site) so will have to wait until they come back in stock. Do you have the Raspberry Pi 4B or the 3B+?

No, I don’t know how to write the code for Alpine Linux. It is different than Debian and I struggled with finding what I needed for the conversion. I only know a very little bit about coding.

I have both, but I use PI 4 for my current dev environment.
I’ve just checked their website, even the fan hat is out of the stock :roll_eyes:
I can create something without the actual device, but I can’t promise it will work properly. I won’t feel comfortable releasing it without even a single test on a physical device.
My idea is to create a service that you will be able to call from any place in Home Assistant.
Something like argon_one.set_fan_speed(20).

This way you can read CPU temp with for example this: HA CPU temps and set fan speed as you like. Even a button to set the fan speed would be possible (https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace/button/).

Can you try getting the cpu temp using this: HA CPU temps ?? If that will work then we can proceed next :slight_smile:

The Argon One case for the RPi3B and RPi3B+ is in stock for the $25 price. I have it as well as the Argon One for RPi 4B. They are almost identical except for the layout for the boards. I can get one for the 3B for you if you have the board for it as the script is the same for both cases. You would have to PM me your address to send it to you though.

I am not so good at the confg stuff for HA yet. I got a lot of this from Google and then work to customize it as I can for my use. I am learning though. :slight_smile: I use this to read the temp of the RPi board:
