UGREEN NAS Control

UGREEN NAS Control

Plugin from Alexander Schubert, Jens Thomas

Overview

Front LEDs, fan control and a live view of your UGREEN NAS (DX, DXP and iDX series) in Unraid. LEDs: colours, effects, drive and network status, night mode, Unraid alerts. Fans: Quiet, Standard, Performance or your own curves, with safety limits and a history graph; verified on the DXP4800 GT and DXP6800 Pro, reported working by users on the DXP2800, DXP2800 GT, DXP4800 Plus / Pro and DXP8800 Plus. Other models with a fan chip start with a guided fan detection and stay off until you confirm. Case view with bays, ports and drives; temperatures read from Unraid, so sleeping disks stay asleep. MQTT for Home Assistant and displays. Unraid 7.2 or newer, interface in 7 languages. No kernel module. Replaces UGREEN LED Control.

Unraid on UGREEN. Fans, LEDs, watchdog. Done right.

Fans. LEDs. Live case view. Sensors. One plugin. No kernel module.

Your UGREEN NAS is not a generic box. It deserves more than generic defaults.
This plugin is the bridge.

What it does

UGREEN builds its boxes with their own fan controllers, LED chips and watchdog. Unraid does not know them. The plugin does, and adds a settings page, a dashboard tile and a command line.

  • Case view. Your box as it is: bays with drive temperatures and LED colours, rear ports, M.2, RAM, PCIe. Live demo.
  • Fan curves in rpm. Presets or your own curve, measured rpm, full speed when too hot, BIOS values back if the plugin stops. More on fans →
  • LEDs that say something. Colour, effects and brightness per LED: disk activity, errors, SMART, network speed, night mode. More on LEDs →
  • Hardware watchdog, kept on. Leave it armed in the BIOS, the plugin feeds it, a frozen box reboots itself. More on the watchdog →
  • Sensors, dashboard tile, MQTT. Sleeping disks stay asleep; status to Home Assistant, read-only. MQTT has no settings page yet: it is set in fan.cfg. More on MQTT →
  • **7 languages**, a command line (`ugreen-nas-ctl`, `ugreen-nas-fan`). [More on the CLI →](docs/cli.md) · [Languages →](docs/translations.md) · [FAQ →](docs/faq.md)

Your model. Your status.

Runs on every x86 UGREEN NAS with Unraid 7.2+. The ARM-based models cannot run Unraid. Every status is dated and linked to its evidence.

2 verified, 8 community-tested, 9 expected. ● verified · ◔ community-tested · ○ expected.

Per-capability status, versions, dates and evidence: docs/hardware.md, or the model page on the website.

Not verified or missing? The probe wizard maps unknown fan wiring in about a minute, and the Feedback page files the report. Report a model →
