Aquacomputer Poweradjust 3
Part of the protocol is documented (e.g. telemetry, not control).
Linux hwmon support for this fan controller. The standalone documentation lists temperature, fan and flow entries; exact entries depend on driver version and connected hardware. Source-qualified Linux driver support; not an OpenDeviceDB hardware test.
Get started
One known way to put open firmware or software on this device, easiest first. Each one links to the project's own instructions.
- Back up your data and settings (and the stock firmware, when the guide says how).
- Check the exact model, hardware revision and firmware version against the guide: a close model may not work.
- Charge the battery or use a stable power supply; do not unplug during the install.

Listed driver support: Linux 6.3 or later. Do not assume every entry in the standalone documentation exists in that first mainline release. These are upstream mainline baselines from the source overview; distribution configuration/backports and standalone-driver features can differ. Prefer the driver supplied by the distribution where available; consult the linked guide for the optional out-of-tree module. This route installs host software, not replacement device firmware.
