I installed the latest Pironman5 Add-on update for Home Assistant this afternoon and noticed some strange behavior:

The RGB Fans are defaulting to ‘Always On’ setting. If I reboot the entire Raspberry Pi device they revert back to ‘always on’. Same thing if I restart the add-on. Restarting Home Assistant (only) does not reset the value (since Add-ons don’t get restarted during a Home Assistant reboot only).

Is there a new or different step I need to save and persist the settings?

In looking further my other changes are also not saving - such as RGB Style - that is reverted to “Breathing” instead of the different choice I make.

This is the output of the Debug:

I’m running version 1.1.3 of the add-on

```auto

```

The FanControl init step seems to reset those settings each time the add-on starts up regardless of the settings prior to startup or restarting the add-on.

We are very sorry, the problem has been fixed.  
Please update and install the pironman5 software again.  
cd ~/pironman5  
git pull  
sudo python3 install.py

Or you can reinstall your system and go back to install the pironman5 software to verify that it works.
