**FEATURE**Adding Linear fan speed control between the thresholds #14

Open Stavro-Purdie opened 1 year ago

Stavro-Purdie commented 1 year ago

Hey guys, I have been running your software for a while now and it works flawlessly, but I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if we added in linear fan control that operated between the 3 thresholds, or increase the threshold limits to that we can add more fan states.

Good idea, even though it will need testing since I'm not sure that all series of BMCs support arbitrary fan speeds. I designed the current behavior with minimal noise variations in mind: depending on your specific use case and ambient conditions, frequent fan speed changes may be more noticeable than sustained overall higher speeds.

Anyway, PRs are welcome!
