Oof thats pretty expensive - looks cool though. 

I did see a bunch of esphome projects for pwm fan controllers, so maybe at a later date i can build one and connect it upto home assistant. But then i thought, what would i need smart functionality for the fan though - i think my devices would function easily without any fans at all. Main reason for the fans in my case is to create some positive pressure/airflow so it may slightly deter insects - so i can very easily set it to a good enough speed and let it sit there (i almost have no use for PWM fans either TBH). I suppose i can always plug a $10-20 smart power plug on the PSU and flick it off/on remotely if i need some smart functionality too. I dunno, im just cheap HAHA

 

 

Depends how you look at it.  For me it's hours of entertainment, just to achieve half of what I originally planned. 😆  Half of the things I do/buy are just for the curiosity factor/challenge.

 

If you don't need variable speed, then yeah ... you just need power, not dynamic control.  

 

 

 

haha i know that very well. my whole house is a tech experiment. i literally got a 2m tall server cabinet to put 3 mini pcs and a router into.
