Fan control ipk package for Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) from GL.iNet for openwrt with luci interface

[bigmalloy]

UPDATED New Universal version should work on other routers with kernel thermal; framework compatible fans UNTESTED
please provide feedback if it does

Made a nice Gui fan control Ipk and Apk for Vanilla Openwrt 24.10 and 25 as I wanted one to control the fan on my Beryl AX (GL-MT3000) to make it as simple as possible on vanilla openwrt

An OpenWrt package that provides automatic PWM fan control via the Linux kernel thermal framework, with a LuCI web interface for configuration.

Features

• Works with the kernel thermal framework by configuring trip points — no driver conflicts
• LuCI web interface under Services → Fan Control
• Live status: service state, CPU temperature, fan speed, PWM value (auto-refreshes every 10s)
• Configurable temperature thresholds with graduated 5-step fan curve
• Auto-detects thermal zone and PWM device — works out of the box on most devices
• Collapsible Advanced settings for sysfs path overrides and poll interval
• Settings persist across reboots

Hi, could you make this for .apk ? i’ve been looking for app like this.

[bigmalloy]

the github has been updated so you can build an apk version of this plugin, it is untested as I dont need an apk version yet.

OpenWrt 25+ (APK format)

OpenWrt 25.12 and later use apk instead of opkg. Build the .apk package:

git clone https://github.com/bigmalloy/luci-app-fancontrol.git cd luci-app-fancontrol chmod +x build-apk.sh ./build-apk.sh

Install on the router:

scp luci-app-fancontrol-2.3.0-r0.apk root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/ apk add --allow-untrusted /tmp/luci-app-fancontrol-2.3.0-r0.apk

The --allow-untrusted flag is required for locally built packages since they lack an official signing key.

Sadly, when i try to install it i get a error:

ERROR: luci-app-fancontrol-2.3.0-r0.apk: file format is invalid or inconsistent

[bigmalloy]

[LS3434]

Now i have this:

ERROR: luci-app-fancontrol-2.3.0-r0.apk: unexpected end of file

[bigmalloy]

this version should work - please test - has been recompiled
https://github.com/bigmalloy/luci-app-fancontrol/releases/download/2.3.0-APK/luci-app-fancontrol-2.3.0-r0.apk

Good news, app finally works, fan turns on when i put in custom values, only thing is, layout is a little messed up, but that could be due to the fact, that i have installed argon theme. Great work !

[bigmalloy]

nice thanks for the help testing - now verified working, updated to use themes properly
