Then something seems wrong with the communication with the MCU inside the case or the worker thread isn’t running.
Can you please check if these lines are in your /flash/config.txt
dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=23
dtparam=i2c=on
enable_uart=1
I have no RPi5 device to test it and need your feedback if it has really changed with RPi5. It looks like it should configured to:
dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=23
dtparam=i2c=on
dtparam=uart0=on
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=18
dtparam=i2c=on
enable_uart=1
dtparam=fan_temp0=47000
dtparam=fan_temp0_hyst=6000
dtparam=fan_temp0_speed=165
dtparam=fan_temp1=52000
dtparam=fan_temp1_hyst=6000
dtparam=fan_temp1_speed=190
dtparam=fan_temp2=57000
dtparam=fan_temp2_hyst=6000
dtparam=fan_temp2_speed=215
dtparam=fan_temp3=61000
dtparam=fan_temp3_hyst=6000
dtparam=fan_temp3_speed=255
I put in the dtparam lines from other stuff I was trying via Google
I tried 23 and double press still does nothing
Still using version 007
FYI the fan on the Argon40 V3 expansion board has a standard 4-pin PWM connector. Just plug it into the RPI board and it will work exactly like the stock fan. I don’t know why they don’t spec it out that way, or wire it up with a pass-through connection.
tried version 006d but I am getting exceptions.

@smesser
sorry, you are right - I have this overseen. 0.0.6d can’t work with LE 11.x because this version was build against LE12 nightly and the library path within the system-tools Add-on has change from “…/virtual.system-tools/lib” to “…/virtual.system-tools/lib.private”. If you revert that in the argon.py and poweroff.py files of version 0.0.6d, it should work with LE11.
In the meantime I had released version 0.0.8 with a fix against the fan fluctuation.
If you want to use the IR receiver of the Argon One case, you should change “gpio_pin=18” to “gpio_pin=23” and remove the hashtag at this line.
The other parameters you manually set will only work with the origin PWM connector at RPi 5 pcb. If wmorgan is right, probably you should switch the fan connection to that way.
Can you show me that in the picture? I do not have much experience.
I have released version 0.0.9a to fix the power button recognition with RPi5.
The bad news is, there will be no improvement regarding the power button if you stick with LE11. LE11 uses RPi.GPIO, which does not support the Pi5. The newer backend lgpio supports the RPi5, but is only included in the RPi-Tools add-on for LE12.
I tried changing the fan plug from the Argon case board to the Pi5 and the unit wouldn’t turn on at all.
I tried the latest nightly of 12 and it didn’t go well

I did install raspberry Pi tools and system tools
Sorry, this sentence is ambiguous to me. Did you install Pi-Tools and system tools after this message in the log or before you started with the installation?
If you start with a clean unmodified version of LE12 I would expect that the Add-on dependencies were resolved automatically. Naturally this requires that the LE12 repos are reachable via the network at this time.
This type of error can also occur if you do not have the recommended version 0.0.9a installed. Can you please check if you have selected an older version of this? It looks like v0.0.6d with incorrect paths for LE12. Self modified?
Additionally can you please look at the system tools directory if there are the libraries and the directory not empty?
“ls -la /storage/.kodi/addons/virtual.system-tools/lib.private”
Please don’t forget to reboot after the installation to ensure that accidently hanging threads are closed and the environment variables has been initialized.
Hi,
Because currently you have no way to control the behaviour of the RPI 5 FAN aside from its default settings. No CPU temp based fan power settings and fan always on options in the raspberry pi OS. that is why we took control of the FAN via RP2040 and RPI5.
these scripts are for the Raspberry Pi OS. we are still working on the libreelec and ubuntu versions.
That is nonsense, the standard rpi OS on pi5 has settings that let you set the threshold for the 3 fan power settings, and you can perfectly well read the CPU temperature. It just works.
I am working with somebody who has replacement routine for the ONE V3. So far it is looking good.
You must have done something wrong, because I’m literally running libreelec right now, watching a 4k video with the fan connected that way. Did you connect it backwards?
I installed nightly build of LE12
I installed raspberry pi tools and system tools
I then installed your version 9A
Not sure which repo they were installed from
@smesser ,
please download the 0.0.9a or 0.0.10 again, install it and check the version in the KODI Addon information to going sure.
I can’t see from remote what was going wrong, but the posted log doesn’t match to version 0.0.9a. This version has no import call for smbus at line 30. Perhaps you posted the wrong log snipped. Your post is from 2024-02-20, but the log timestamps says 2024-02-17 (This was before the release of 0.0.9a. Or do you have a time travel machine? 
).
