I thought I would share this info for the RUI comunity. For literally a couple of dollars I am able to control both T6 and Hyperfan Gen 1 8" independently. This is easily done by "intercepting" the PWM signal to the fans. Check the pictures to see how stupid simple this is.
For the hyper fan, I removed the cable adapter from the remote casing (no permanent modifications) and un-soldered the rheostat. The two wires are now connected with the PWM controller on the screw in negative terminals, the PWM controller is now controlled by hooking up the signal wire and ground wire to the Raspberry Pi which sends the control signal. The cable connection adapter is zipped tied for a more professional appearance. See pics
The setup in the AC Infinity T6 ( should work for the T4 and T
is the same. Hijack the PWM signal and control it with the Pi. No permanent modifications done, see pictures.
Setup in MyCodo is simple (other automation software is simple too), its a couple of options including which Pin the PWM controller is on and you're off to the races.
Part - extreme over kill but it is easy to use.
