 # ESP32-C3 Fan Controller
 
-An automatic server fan controller built on the ESP32-C3, featuring temperature-based relay control, OLED status display, and Home Assistant integration via MQTT.
+An automatic server fan controller built on the ESP32-C3. Drives a 5 V fan over PWM through an IRLZ44N MOSFET, auto-selects fan speed from a temperature table with hysteresis, shows live status on an OLED, and publishes sensor/fan state to Home Assistant over MQTT.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Auto fan control** — relay switches ON/OFF based on temperature thresholds with hysteresis
-- **DHT22 sensor** — reads temperature and humidity every second
-- **SSD1306 OLED** — displays live temp, humidity, and fan state
-- **MQTT publishing** — streams sensor data and fan state to Home Assistant
-- **WiFi** — connects on boot, auto-reconnects if MQTT drops
+- **Temperature-driven PWM fan control** — 5 discrete speed levels, selected automatically from the current temperature
+- **Hysteresis** — 1 °C drop-down margin prevents level flapping
+- **DHT22 sensor** — reads temperature and humidity every 3 s
+- **SSD1306 OLED** — displays live temp, humidity, fan state, and level
+- **MQTT publishing** — streams sensor and fan data for Home Assistant
+- **WiFi** — connects on boot, auto-reconnects WiFi and MQTT if they drop

 ## Configuration

+Copy `main/secrets.h.example` to `main/secrets.h` and fill in your values:
 
 ```cpp
-#define WIFI_SSID  "your_wifi_ssid"
-#define WIFI_PASS  "your_wifi_password"
-#define MQTT_HOST  "192.168.1.X"   // Home Assistant IP
-#define MQTT_USER  "mqtt_user"
-#define MQTT_PASS  "mqtt_pass"
+#define WIFI_SSID     "your_wifi_ssid"
+#define WIFI_PASS     "your_wifi_password"

 ```
 
-### Temperature Thresholds
+`secrets.h` is gitignored.
 
-Edit these defines in `fan_controller.ino`:
+### Fan Level Table
 
-```cpp
-#define TEMP_ON   28.0   // Fan turns ON above this (°C)
-#define TEMP_OFF  25.0   // Fan turns OFF below this (°C)
-```
+Fan speed is selected from a table of (temperature threshold → PWM duty) in `main/main.ino`:
+
+| Level | Temp ≥ | PWM duty (0–255) |
+|-------|--------|------------------|
+| 0 (off) | —      | 0                |
+| 1     | 28 °C  | 230              |
+| 2     | 30 °C  | 236              |
+| 3     | 32 °C  | 242              |
+| 4     | 34 °C  | 249              |
+| 5     | 36 °C  | 255              |
+
+`TEMP_HYST` (default `1.0 °C`) controls the drop-down margin: the fan only drops a level once temperature falls this much below that level's threshold. Below level 1's threshold minus hysteresis, the fan turns off.
+
+Tune `LEVELS[]` and `TEMP_HYST` in `main/main.ino` to match your thermal setup.
 
 ## MQTT Topics
 
-| Topic | Direction | Payload |
+All topics are publish-only (the firmware does not accept remote commands).
+
+| Topic | Payload | Notes |
 |---|---|---|
-| `esp32c3_fan/temperature` | Publish | `23.5` (°C) |
-| `esp32c3_fan/humidity` | Publish | `41` (%) |
-| `esp32c3_fan/fan/state` | Publish | `ON` / `OFF` |
+| `esp32c3_fan/temperature` | `23.5` | °C, every loop |
+| `esp32c3_fan/humidity`    | `41`   | %, every loop |
+| `esp32c3_fan/fan/state`   | `ON` / `OFF` | retained |
+| `esp32c3_fan/fan/speed`   | `0`..`5` | current level, retained |
