Describe the bug

I have the iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX XT
Every time I do a command like liquidctl set fans speed 70 the RGB of the pump and the 3 fans "flickers" - it goes off for about half a second and then comes back on.
I know this model is not supported, but the fan speed settings work - my question is: should I worry about the RGB on/off flicker or is it purely a visual thing.
I am asking because I wrote a C++ program that constantly changes the fan speeds based on the CPU package temperature and the problematic command is executed quite often.

Commands executed

liquidctl set fans speed 70

Installation method

yay -S liquidctl (1.13.0-1)

Version of liquidctl

liquidctl v1.13.0 (Linux-6.8.7-arch1-1-x86_64-with-glibc2.39)

I'm not sure if the response there is sill applicable.

There is currently no path to fixing this as liquidctl only supports hardware mode.

And we might need to document this behavior in the appropriate guide.

  • How hard would it be to fix the issue?
  • I will read the developer documentation and investigate how liquidctl works in the upcoming days, but can someone give a TLDR summary on roughly what kind of effort would be required?
  • I haven't written drivers before, but I do have some experience with low level protocols, so it would be useful if I can gauge how much time that would take if I were to take on this issue...

Outside of the "RGB flicker" the other issue is that the command takes half a second to complete and during that time (probably because of the controller "wake up"?) parallel requests also fail - can someone also shed light on whether these two issues are related and actually a single issue? (I am assuming after reading the other issue that the software-hardware mode switch + the "wake up" results in both the delay without parallel requests AND the RGB flicker)

Note: sorry for closing the issue, happened by accident

The limitation seems to be of how the driver implements its hardware modes (=modes in which no program is required to remain running after the initial setup/configuration). In software mode (=when such program is required, and effects are implemented by it in software) this doesn't seem to be an issue:

I also implemented the OpenRGB controller. And no it will not. But the OpenRGB controller has to always be running.
—Parker

The liquidctl CLI can only support hardware mode since it's supposed to be one-shot. Adding software mode APIs to our driver would be a welcome improvement, but they wouldn't be used by our main/official CLI.

How hard would it be to fix the issue?

It seems to be a liquidctl vs device protocol design disconnect that, as far as we know (about the protocol), cannot be bridged.

will read the developer documentation and investigate how liquidctl works in the upcoming days, but can someone give a TLDR summary on roughly what kind of effort would be required?

Discovering new features of the protocol used by these devices, or some creative way to bypass the issue within the design limitations I mentioned above.

The actual implementation shouldn't be very hard. Essentially it's all about reading and writing from/to a HID device. This happens in our drivers, in this case, commander_core.py.

Outside of the "RGB flicker" the other issue is that the command takes half a second to complete and during that time (probably because of the controller "wake up"?) parallel requests also fail - can someone also shed light on whether these two issues are related and actually a single issue? (I am assuming after reading the other issue that the software-hardware mode switch + the "wake up" results in both the delay without parallel requests AND the RGB flicker)

I'm not 100% sure (this is not a driver I maintain directly, since I don't own one of these devices), but I think your assumption makes sense.
