Missing Control Sensor /nzxt/krakenz

[raeldor]

This has been working great and suddenly in the last couple of weeks I have started getting this error.

Is this a known issue, or has something gone wrong with my NZXT hardware? I haven't installed any NZXT updates as far as I remember.

[raeldor]

I went back to v174 and restored the v174 backup config (thank you for taking auto-backups!!) the message disappeared and my curves etc. have been restored. Not sure where to go from here.

Does "suddenly" corresponds to an update for FanControl? Did you go from 174 to 20X?

[raeldor]

No, I've been updating each time there is an update, so I would say it's in the last couple of updates or so that I've noticed is

[Rem0o]

Do yo use these at all in FanControl? If not, just save your config on top of the error and it will go away.

Looking at the restored app and config it's paired to a sensor called CPU Pump. If I search the config for this, then I see...

  {
    "Identifier": "/nzxt/krakenz/3359334B3538/fan/0",
    "IsHidden": false,
    "Name": "Pump",
    "NickName": "CPU Pump"
  },

So, I think yes, it was being used and now in the new version is no longer being recognized.

I've been having the same issue

Last working version for me is v201, it started appearing with v202 (iirc)

Hi. I installed the Kraken plug-in and then restored my old config file and it seems to be working again now. In fact, I can now add the pump and fans and control them, which I couldn't do before. I thought the Kraken was supported natively, but maybe something changed there?

The Native Kraken Support in LibHardware is not good. I also tested it and have Problems with my Kraken 280 (2023).
Back to the Plugin and all is fine and running. Hope the Plugin gets Updates in the Future for the new Krakens.

Encountering the same issue with V209. Downgraded back to V206 to fix it. There's definitely a regression here.

[Rem0o]

I believe the identifiers got modified, hence why the ones saved in your config are not recognized. Does a new "virgin" control card appeared?

[mmshivesh]

@Rem0o You are correct- I see a brand new set of AIO controls, which work fine after I configure them:

The "duplicate" older controls don't do anything even if I try to control it manually after pairing. Is there a way to exclude these (as this behavior doesn't seem to happen on V206) I'm assuming FanControl is pulling these from the system as it looks like my motherboard reports the PUMP1 header separately from the Pump control also reported by NZXT:

Edit: For some reason, the duplicate reporting doesn't seem to happen on V206

[Rem0o]

@mmshivesh could you send your new json config file saved? Really confusing as to what is what. Don't care about any old one.

[raeldor]

I re-did everything and it was working perfectly, now it's started failing again. Looks like this is not just a kraken issue, it's also lost my water pump control for my GPU block.
