Since hwmon order can be changed between kernel version or even between reboot, on Armbian we use udev rules as workaround. The rules can be found from [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/armbian/build/master/packages/bsp/helios4/90-helios4-hwmon.rules) and to be copy to **/etc/udev/rules.d/**
*/dev/fan-j10, /dev/fan-j17, /dev/thermal-cpu, /dev/thermal-board,* and */dev/thermal-eth* are symlinks generated by the udev rules.
#### Configuration File
fancontrol uses **/etc/fancontrol** as configuration file. Below is an example configuration to control fan speed on Helios4.
```

This variable defines at which interval in seconds the main loop of fancontrol will be executed.
DEVPATH
Maps hwmon class devices to physical devices. This lets fancontrol check that the configuration file is still up-to-date.
It expect the **hwmonN** as symlink to **devices/***
DEVNAME
Records hwmon class device names. This lets fancontrol check that the configuration file is still up-to-date.
Since **armada_thermal** does not create symlink, use *DEVNAME* instead of *DEVPATH*
FCTEMPS
Maps PWM outputs to temperature sensors so fancontrol knows which temperature sensors should be used for calculation of new values for the corresponding PWM outputs.
Fans (**hwmon3** & **hwmon4**) are controlled based on CPU thermal sensor (**hwmon1**) reading.
Fans (**fan-j10** & **fan-j17**) are controlled based on CPU thermal sensor (**thermal-cpu**) reading.
