I installed this, ran the setup which calibrated all the fans, then swapped out a fan for a different one, after which obviously the calibration was off, and FC even noticed as much. It took me a while, though, to figure out how to recalibrate it, as there are no options anywhere that explicitly say anything about recalibration or removing a calibration. I eventually tried the "Calibrate paired control automatically" option, even though I was unsure based on the description if that was actually what I was looking for. It would be helpful if maybe tooltips could be added to the options to better explain what they do and what they're for, or at least maybe consider simply adding something about recalibrating to the description for that one, so when fans are changed it's more clear how to update FC accordingly.

Edit: In this same vein, I don't know what the on/off toggle on the left of the cards does, as there's no tooltip and not even anything in the help popup or the documentation page.

Fair points:

I'll do a simple label switch if a calibration exists already: image

As for your second point, I thought it was obvious, but maybe not! I'll add a tooltip. image

Sounds good! Regarding the toggle, I figured that's what it was for, but it seems it's used to simply turn the fan on or off on manual control, which isn't quite the same, so it effectively has two different uses depending on the mode, or at least that's how I'm understanding it.

Manual control is just another way to input a % control value, just like a fan curve.
