4 years ago So it turns out in my case I had to reverse the configuration to begin with unit 2 and follow with unit 1, it's working fine now. I think this is due to the USB device tree hardware assignments being in reverse order, so it's just my system playing mind games. Closing this!

If you chain two controllers together using the bridge port rather than connect both to USB headers on the motherboard, you cant control or modify the fans attached to the secondary controller.
lsusb produces:
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 264a:1fa6 Bus 001 Device 004: ID 264a:1fa5
Line 121 of drivers.py is:
PRODUCT_ID_BASE = 0x1fa5
Running linux-thermaltake-rgb produces the desired effect but if you add any other units in the config.yml it just throws errors such as the following:

If I modify PRODUCT_ID_BASE = 0x1fa5 to be PRODUCT_ID_BASE = 0x1fa6, the second controller works, and the primary controller doesn't.
Perhaps a modification of drivers.py to be a modifiable list of devices rather than a single one?
