Additional information about the device

Hello everybody.

I just got the NZXT H5 Elite case, that includes an RGB Controller ( AC-CRFR0-B1), this device only have 3 connectors for controlling the RGB with the use of the NZXT CAM software. I'm only using two connection ports.

I added the new device to the smart_device.py file.

class SmartDevice2(_BaseSmartDevice):
    """NZXT HUE 2 lighting and, optionally, fan controller."""

    # support for hwmon: nzxt-smart2, Linux 5.17

    _MATCHES = [
        (0x1e71, 0x2006, 'NZXT Smart Device V2', {
            'speed_channel_count': 3,
            'color_channel_count': 2
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x200d, 'NZXT Smart Device V2', {
            'speed_channel_count': 3,
            'color_channel_count': 2
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x200f, 'NZXT Smart Device V2', {
            'speed_channel_count': 3,
            'color_channel_count': 2
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x2001, 'NZXT HUE 2', {
            'speed_channel_count': 0,
            'color_channel_count': 4
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x2002, 'NZXT HUE 2 Ambient', {
            'speed_channel_count': 0,
            'color_channel_count': 2
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x2009, 'NZXT RGB & Fan Controller', {
            'speed_channel_count': 3,
            'color_channel_count': 2
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x200e, 'NZXT RGB & Fan Controller', {
            'speed_channel_count': 3,
            'color_channel_count': 2
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x2010, 'NZXT RGB & Fan Controller', {
            'speed_channel_count': 3,
            'color_channel_count': 2
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x2019, 'NZXT RGB & Fan Controller', {
            'speed_channel_count': 3,
            'color_channel_count': 2
        }),
        (0x1e71, 0x2012, "NZXT RGB Controller", { # Here is the new device
            'speed_channel_count': 0, # Because the controller is only for RGB
            'color_channel_count': 3 
        }),
    ]
...

But that does not worked, the device is available with the liquidctl tool, but when I tried to change the color nothing happens, here more details about the RGB Controller:

As we can see, my fans connected are visible but unknown, the fans are the NZXT F140 RGB.

Also here is an a output when I tried to change the color of them:

Nothings happens, the fans are still on with a white light.

System Info:

OS: Fedora Linux 37 (Workstation Edition)
Mobo: Asus z690-P
liquidctl version:  v1.11.1 (Linux-6.0.15-300.fc37.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.36)

P. S.

I also have the NZXT Kraken x63 and it works perfectly.

I added some new lines to the python script in order to get more logging info.

I also tried to capture the USB traffic with the next script, that script start monitoring the USB device, turns off and on the NZXT Kraken and the RGB Controller and finish the USB monitoring:

#!/bin/bash

echo -e "Testing NZXT devices with liquidctl...\nStarting USB device monitoring"

usbmon -i 1 -fh > /tmp/usbmon_out & # -fh flag for human readable

echo -e "turning off and turning on NZXT Kraken X63\nliquidctl --product 0x2007 -v --debug set sync color off"

liquidctl --product 0x2007 -v --debug set sync color off

echo "liquidctl --product 0x2007 -v --debug set sync color spectrum-wave"

liquidctl --product 0x2007 -v --debug set sync color spectrum-wave

echo -e "turning off and turning on NZXT RGB Controller\nliquidctl --product 0x2012 -v --debug set led1 color off"

liquidctl --product 0x2012 -v --debug set led1 color off

echo "liquidctl --product 0x2012 -v --debug set led1 color spectrum-wave"

liquidctl --product 0x2012 -v --debug set led1 color spectrum-wave

echo "Stopping USB device monitoring..."

kill -9 $(ps -eaf | grep -i usbmon | grep -v grep | awk {'print $2'})

echo 'Done!'

this was the result, but I don't know how to decode this:

Can you help with implementing or testing the changes needed for liquidctl to support this device?

testing changes on Linux, attempting to capture USB/HID traffic, implementing the changes

Sorry for the long response time.

Odd, the protocol appears to have some similarity with the HUE2 and RGB & Fan Controller, but clearly something is different in how LED colors are passed to the device.

Can you try capturing some traffic between CAM and the device?

(By the way, there usually isn't a lot of value in capturing the traffic between liquidctl and the device: we already have quite a bit of info available with --debug, and we can also just hack the sources and add more traces... or even use an interactive debugger).

Hello Jonas.

Sure. just let me setup a Windows env in my machine and I will check it but, how could I do this? I'm not too skilled with Windows.

You can still capture the traffic on the Linux host (using usbmon + Wireshark), as any USB device forwarded to the Windows VM will still go throw the host's USB stack.

P.S. The Wireshark part is arguably unnecessary, but I find the format a lot easier to work than what usbmon natively outputs.

I've got the same NZXT case and attaching some traffic from CAM on virtualbox windows
usbmon-capture.zip

Please have a look and let me know if you need something else.
BTW, on the first install CAM didn't work, and after it updated RGB controller firmware it started working

Hi.
No time to look into this issue? Maybe you can give me some clue to try to fix this myself?

@nemat-rakhmatov,

No time to look into this issue?

Yeah... (and also #569).

Maybe you can give me some clue to try to fix this myself?

Thanks!

My strategy would be to start by comparing what our driver does and what we see in the captures from CAM, for a few specific (but arbitrarily chosen) cases of modes & colors.

Hello,

Any news about this topic?
I'm also have the same issue :/

I started working on a small implementation while trying to reverse engineer some other stuff, currently have barebones rgb working in the h5 elite (https://github.com/Mindgamesnl/nzxt-linux-driver). I'll contribute here once I have most stuff implemented and figured out.
