# SpeedFan plugin

`Plugin=SpeedFanPlugin` retrieves information from the SpeedFan application. The SpeedFan application must be running in the background.

Note: If the value of the measure is to be used in a meter which requires a percentage, then appropriate MinValue and/or MaxValue options must be added to the measure.

## Options

General measure options
All general measure options are valid.
`SpeedFanType` Default: `Temperature`
Type of information to measure. Valid values are:
• `Temperature`: Temperature in the unit defined by `SpeedFanScale`.
• `Fan`: Fan speed.
• `Voltage`
`SpeedFanNumber` Default: `0`
The index retrieved from the Speedfan application starting with `0`. It is easiest to obtain these numbers from the Configure tab of the Speedfan application.

Example: To obtain the second temperature value with `SpeedFanType=Temperature`, specify `SpeedFanNumber=1`.
`SpeedFanScale` Default: `C`
Temperature unit for `SpeedFanType=Temperature`. Valid values are:
• `C`: Celsius.
• `F`: Fahrenheit.
• `K`: Kelvin.
Note: The unit in the SpeedFan application itself must be set to Celsius to obtain the correct value.
