I tried autostart.sh on LE10. I worked once but the TV display stopped on next boot after upgrading the config file. I removed the autostart.sh file and rebooted but still had problems so did and upgrade to same version which fixed things.

correct me if i'm wrong, fan control isn't supported in libreelec 10 beta right?
-
1. Edit the argonone-config file on line 35, 36, and 37 to reflect:
echo 55"="10 >> $daemonconfigfile
echo 60"="55 >> $daemonconfigfile
echo 65"="100 >> $daemonconfigfile
2.Edit the argononed.py line 75 to reflect:/storage/.config directory
fanconfig = ["65=100", "60=55", "55=10"]
2. Create a sh file and name it autostart.sh and in that file copy and paste this script and save:
place file in /storage/.config directory
#!/bin/sh(
python /storage/.config/argononed.py
) &
3. Edit the argononed.service file in the /storage/.config/system.d directory and add this command to line 8:
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /usr/bin/python /storage/.config/argononed.py"
4. Go to terminal and test by running ./argononed-config
5. Fan will run at those values. -
Hey Guys,
To add more, I installed a fresh LibreElec v10.0.0. I installed the add on Raspbery pi tools, System tools and Adafruit Librairies (not sure it helps) from the repos.
I installed the dedicated argon one libreelec script: "curl argonone-setup-libreelec.sh | bash"
It was obviously not working at first.
I only needed to update the "/storage/.config/system.d/argononed.service" and change the ExecStart line with this one : ExecStart=/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /usr/bin/python /storage/.config/argononed.py".
Everything then went fine and I was able to manage the fan control through the config file.
Have Fun,
Damien.

This worked for me to get the "all or nothing" fan settings working (thanks), has somone then gotten the variable speed working?

This worked well. I had the noisey stock fan running flat out when I rebooted. I edited "argononed.conf" with 4 lines of °C to % fan settings after removing 1=100.
ie
42=25
44=50
46=75
48=100
I didnt try through their app.

When I do this, I get no fan at all at any temperature. Any ideas.EDIT: Fan is working now with this config!
1. Edit the argonone-config file on line 35, 36, and 37 to reflect:
echo 55"="10 >> $daemonconfigfile
echo 60"="55 >> $daemonconfigfile
echo 65"="100 >> $daemonconfigfile
2.Edit the argononed.py line 75 to reflect:/storage/.config directory
fanconfig = ["65=100", "60=55", "55=10"]
2. Create a sh file and name it autostart.sh and in that file copy and paste this script and save:
place file in /storage/.config directory
#!/bin/sh(
python /storage/.config/argononed.py
) &
3. Edit the argononed.service file in the /storage/.config/system.d directory and add this command to line 8:
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /usr/bin/python /storage/.config/argononed.py"
4. Go to terminal and test by running ./argononed-config
5. Fan will run at those values.I also get no fan when applying this methodThanks,

Hi, I've tried many times to get this working. I installed raspberry pi tools and adafruit from the addons but didn't see that you'd written System Tools. As soon as I installed this and rebooted it started working.
Thanks a lot for this. I'm not sure how beneficial the fan actually is as the case is a good heatsink and I never get huge temps, but it's nice to have it there working should I need it.

Anyone has the ideia how to install this? seens better for controlling the argon fan..

https://gitlab.com/DarkElvenAngel/argononedYou or someone needs to build the daemon. It says to clone the repository and make the requisite files. This seems fine if it were dealing with a myriad of hardware types. If someone has a GIT build environment set up perhaps you could try? My fan and button setup are working fine using previous solutions. So if it isn't broken don't fix it. Perhaps contact the author to contact the developers and post a plugin.

Hello all,
So I finally got my argon one pi4 case running libreelec 10.0.1. Followed the install instructions with the script and as expected the fan does not work. Power button works fine. The only option I have in the config file is fan on/off but whatever I do the fan does not work.
Anyway after reading this topic I have tried several things listed here but nothing has worked so far. So what I have done so far is I have installed the modified "argoneone-config" file as mention in the first page (i think about 5 or 6 posts down). What this has done is given me extra options to control the fan ie temp, speed etc. I know this works because it re writes those values I set into the "argononed-conf" file, however fan is still not working.
Have I missed something here? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you for the reply chook55, unfortunately that did not work, still no fan control.

Did you install Raspberry pi tools and System tools? I just did an install to RPi4 version 10.01. Seems to be working.
Install them if not already.
Try systemctl restart argononed.service

Hi Chook,
Yes I do have pi and system tools installed along with adafruit libraries.
I uninstalled the script and done it again using the above method but still not working no fan control. The script says it installed fine but there is an error that says "too many errors from stdin" after installing the script.
Any ideas?

Further to my above post, after running "journalctl -xe" i get the below errors.
LibreELEC sh[1431]: /usr/bin/python: can't open file '/storage/.config/argononed.py.': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
LibreELEC systemd[1]: argononed.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
LibreELEC systemd[1]: argononed.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
LibreELEC systemd[1]: argononed.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 4.
LibreELEC systemd[1]: Stopped Argon One Fan and Button Service.
Regarding line 1, i checked to see if the argononed.py file is located under '/storage/.config/ and the file does exist in that location.
This has got me stumped. Any ideas?

I assume you edited the argononed.config file.
Mine looks like this.
# Argon One Fan Speed Configuration
#
# Min Temp=Fan Speed
42=12.5
44=25
46=50
48=100

You should do this by jimmyneutron.
1. Edit the argonone-config file on line 35, 36, and 37 to reflect:
echo 55"="10 >> $daemonconfigfile
echo 60"="55 >> $daemonconfigfile
echo 65"="100 >> $daemonconfigfile
2.Edit the argononed.py line 75 to reflect:
/storage/.config directory
fanconfig = ["65=100", "60=55", "55=10"]
2. Create a sh file and name it autostart.sh and in that file copy and paste this script and save:
place file in /storage/.config directory
#!/bin/sh
(
python /storage/.config/argononed.py
) &
3. Edit the argononed.service file in the /storage/.config/system.d directory and add this command to line 8:
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /usr/bin/python /storage/.config/argononed.py"
4. Go to terminal and test by running ./argononed-config
5. Fan will run at those values.
It was a long process getting it working. I feel your frustration.I am not a coder. but a long time xbmc user.

Hello chook,
Well I finally got it working I actually did a typo on editing the execstart line in "argonone.service" file. I also managed to get the config file to behave in a way where you can set the temp/speed as well. This is what I did the steps below.
1. Ensure you have Pi tools and system tools installed.
2. Install the following script "curl argonone-setup-libreelec.sh | bash"
3. reboot (very important)
4.
Create a sh file and name it autostart.sh and in that file copy and paste this script and save:
place file in /storage/.config directory
#!/bin/sh
(
python /storage/.config/argononed.py
) &
5. Edit the argononed.service file in the /storage/.config/system.d directory and add this command to line 8:
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /usr/bin/python /storage/.config/argononed.py"
6. open "argonone-config" and delete all entries and add the below and save the file.
#!/bin/bash
daemonconfigfile=/storage/argononed.conf

7. Reboot then type "./argonone-config" (without quotes) and you can now control the fan to your likeing.
Thanks for your help chook I just needed a nudge.
