## Fan control
Fan control is available for the thermostat revisions with integrated fan system. For this purpose four commands are available:
Fan control commands are available for thermostat revisions with an integrated fan system:
1. `fan` - show fan stats: `fan_pwm`, `abs_max_tec_i`, `auto_mode`, `k_a`, `k_b`, `k_c`.
2. `fan auto` - enable auto speed controller mode, which correlates with fan curve `fcurve`.
3. `fan <value>` - set the fan power with the value from `1` to `100` and disable auto mode. There is no way to disable the fan.
2. `fan auto` - enable auto speed controller mode, where fan speed is controlled by the fan curve `fcurve`.
3. `fan <value>` - set the fan power with the value from `1` to `100` and disable auto mode. There is no way to completely disable the fan.
Please note that power doesn't correlate with the actual speed linearly.
4. `fcurve <a> <b> <c>` - set coefficients of the controlling curve `a*x^2 + b*x + c`, where `x` is `abs_max_tec_i/MAX_TEC_I`,
i.e. receives values from 0 to 1 linearly tied to the maximum current. The controlling curve should produce values from 0 to 1,
as below and beyond values would be substituted by 0 and 1 respectively.
5. `fcurve default` - restore fan curve settings to defaults: `a = 1.0, b = 0.0, c = 0.0`.
4. `fcurve <a> <b> <c>` - set coefficients of the controlling curve `a*x^2 + b*x + c`, where `x` is `abs_max_tec_i/MAX_TEC_I`, a normalized value in range [0,1],
i.e. the (linear) proportion of current output capacity used, on the channel with the largest current flow. The controlling curve is also clamped to [0,1].
5. `fcurve default` - restore fan curve coefficients to defaults: `a = 1.0, b = 0.0, c = 0.0`.
