      And it does't work after the v2.2 upgrade. Does anyone have any update. The fan noise is driving me crazy. Best!

        I have a clean install of 2.2. After this I installed the fan speed control with latest version of all the dan stuff. It is working!

            Just the code from seven replies above: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=66129.0;attach=55565

            And of course the latest version of Stephens WGXep.
            And then I modified the min temp.

            Voila

                I cannot auto-start that at boot though. This is where I have those files:

                [root@wg550 ~]# for ix in $(find / -name 'fanctrl*'); do ls -l ${ix}; done
                -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1624 Apr 24 16:15 /usr/local/sbin/fanctrld
                -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  339 Apr 24 13:45 /etc/rc.d/fanctrld.sh
                #
                [root@wg550 ~]# ls -l $(which WGXepc)
                -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  13762 Nov 28 12:51 /usr/local/bin/WGXepc
                

                and fanctrld is enabled in the rc.conf.local:

                [root@wg550 ~]# grep fan /etc/rc.conf.local 
                fanctrld_enable="YES"
                

                What am I still missing? I can start fan-control manually though. Any one can help please? Best!

                  Sorry guys, found the problem: fanctrld.sh should be in "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/" not in /etc/rc.d. Working fine now.
