dm8000 Can't turn OFF Fan in Idle mode (dm800se no problem)

    with `TempFanControl` any changes vs On and Idle - Fan is always ON

    Code
    config.fans.0.vlt_standby=0
config.fans.0.vlt=170


    with `FanControl 2` Fan is turned OFF when box goes to Idle, but after ~minute Fan is turned ON

    Code
    config.plugins.FanControl.Multi=1
config.plugins.FanControl.temp=35
config.plugins.FanControl.DisableDMM=true
config.plugins.FanControl.StandbyOff=true
config.plugins.FanControl.Fan=4pin
config.plugins.FanControl.minRPM=1000
config.plugins.FanControl.maxRPM=4000
config.plugins.FanControl.pwm=150
config.plugins.FanControl.vlt=160
config.plugins.FanControl.tempmax=45

    by change config.plugins.FanControl.temp= to 40 got Fan OFF for few minutes
    then increased to 45, with that value Fan woke up two times at night :frowning_face:
    now set to 50 - Fan is OFF, testing how long ..


    looks like parameters `config.fans.0.vlt_standby=0` and `config.plugins.FanControl.StandbyOff=true` are ignored

    @Devs
    maybe problem causes this difference?


    Dreamboxes are ON

    Code
    root@dm800se:~# cat /proc/stb/avs/0/input_choices; cat /proc/stb/avs/0/input
encoder aux
encoder
    Code
    root@dm8000:~# cat /proc/stb/avs/0/input_choices; cat /proc/stb/avs/0/input
encoder scart aux
encoder


    Dremboxes are in Idle mode

    Code
    root@dm800se:~# cat /proc/stb/avs/0/input
aux
    Code
    root@dm8000:~# cat /proc/stb/avs/0/input
scart

    FC2 has an overheating protection. If the adjusted maximum temperature is exceeded in standby, the fan is activated until it cools again. This is so by design and desired. The purpose of the fan is, to avoid too high temperature. You can set an overheat surcharge to the maximum temperature in the setup (menu key). You can observe this in the logging (e.g. WebIF).
    PS: put a low initial voltage and/or PWM. The fan spins firstonce slow/silent when he is switching on.

    with FC2 got positive result after increased config.plugins.FanControl.temp= to 50, but this makes slower fan also in box's ON mode


    joergm6> You can set an overheat surcharge to the maximum temperature in the setup (menu key).
    isn't option `overheat` about shutdown the box on reach critical temperatures?

    haven't tried jet

    not for my case - fan's power pins drives also PCW-MS2G


    the main question is why default DMM's TempFanControl can't turn of Fan in Idle mode only in dm8000 while in dm800se option `config.fans.0.vlt_standby=0` works


    p.s.
    just for info: have installed Xilence COO-XPF92.2CF
    don't know why i didn't that few years ago :smiling_face:
