fancontrol

Script manages attached fan for cooling the system on the basis of the system temperature provided by the SoC [1]. At the same time the script acts as an MQTT [2] client communicating with a MQTT broker, usually a local one mosquitto for data exchange within IoT [3].

• The script is aimed for Pi microcomputers running as headless servers, e.g., Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Nano Pi, etc.
• The script runS under Python3 as well as Python3 as it is defined by the shebang.
• It is recommended to run the script as a service of the operating system.
• All relevant parameters for the script are located in the configuration INI file. It contains sensitive data as well, like passwords. So that the repository contains just the sample INI file with placeholders instead of real such as sensitive data. The production INI file should be present only and only in some trusted locality with root access, e.g., in the folder /usr/local/etc in order not to be exposed to regular users.
