Linux driver and daemon for Thermaltake Riing

Compatibility

Python3 only.

Currently supported devices are (as they show up in thermaltakes TTRGBPLUS software:

• Flow Riing RGB
• Lumi Plus LED Strip
• Pacific PR22-D5 Plus
• Pacific Rad Plus LED Panel
• Pacific V-GTX 1080Ti Plus GPU Waterblock
• Pacific W4 Plus CPU Waterblock
• Riing Plus

If your's isn't listed, please create an issue and I'll implement it ASAP!!

Installation

Pypi

sudo pip3 install linux_thermaltake_rgb
The setup file will create the systemd unit in /usr/share/linux_thermaltake_rgb
you will need to copy these to the appropriate locations:

sudo cp /usr/share/linux_thermaltake_rgb/linux-thermaltake-rgb.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/

# and if this is a fresh install copy the default config file:
sudo mkdir /etc/linux_thermaltake_rgb/
sudo cp /usr/share/linux_thermaltake_rgb/config.yml /etc/linux_thermaltake_rgb/

Arch linux

available in the aur as linux-thermaltake-rgb

Starting and Enabling the Daemon

start and enable the systemd service
systemctl enable --now linux-thermaltake-rgb.service

Configuration

the configuration file is expected to be in: /etc/linux_thermaltake_rgb/config.yml
edit and configure suitably.

example config is in linux_thermaltake_rgb/assets/config.yml

Fan Manager Settings

• temp_target increases/decreases fan speed in direct response to the difference of actual temperature to target temperature multiplied by the specified multiplier with an extemely simple - read, dumb - smoothing function

  • settings:
    • sensor_name [name of the sensor to get temperature reading from(names can be found by running sensors in a terminal)]
    • target [target temperature]
    • multiplier

• locked_speed sets the fan speeds to a static speed, regardless of temperature or... anything really

  • settings:
    • speed [0-100]

• curve allows defining of a fan speed curve

  • settings:

    • points
      example config:

    fan_manager:
      model: curve
      points:
        - [0, 0]  # [temp(*C), speed(0-100%)]
        - [50, 30]
        - [70, 100]
      sensor_name: k10temp
    

    • sensor_name [name of the sensor to get temperature reading from(names can be found by running sensors in a terminal)]

Lighting Manager Settings

To save repetition:
speed: desired refresh speed of the device ['slow', 'normal', 'fast', 'extreme'] g/r/b: RGB values of the desired colour

• alternating
  alternates between odd_rgb and even_rgb such that every "tick" the lights on the device will alternate between the 2 colours

  • settings:
    • speed
    • odd_rgb:
      • g
      • r
      • b
    • even_rgb:
      • g
      • r
      • b

• temperature will set lighting to a colour between blue/green/red and anywhere inbetween depending on the temperature of the selected sensor

  • settings:
    • speed
    • sensor_name [name of the sensor to get temperature reading from(names can be found by running sensors in a terminal)]
    • cold [desired temperature to set lighting to blue]
    • hot [desired temperature to set lighting to red]
    • target [desired temperature to set lighting to green]

• full sets lighting to this colour

  • settings:
    • r
    • g
    • b

• off as it sounds, turns lighting off

  • settings:

• flow walks each led in the device slowly going around the RGB spectrum individually

  • settings:
    • speed

• spectrum fades all lights at the same time through the RGB spectrum

  • settings:
    • speed

• ripple leading led light followed by a trail of fading led's that walk all led's in the device

  • settings:
    • speed
    • r
    • g
    • b

• blink repeatedly flashes the led's in the devices in the selected colour

  • settings:
    • speed
    • r
    • g
    • b

• pulse same as blink, except using a smooth fade

  • settings:
    • speed
    • r
    • g
    • b
