[Feature Request] Auto switch fan controller back to automatic mode when the macbook lid is closed / macbook is slept

[ngshijun]

Hello,

I'd like to suggest to a new feature which allows the fan controller to be switch back from manual to automatic mode once the lid is closed.

It has happened to me many times where I leave the fan to run at 3k+ rpm after some heavy task, and only realised it after few hours when I come back to my MacBook.

Hi. I'm pretty sure the fan will be restored to the auto after waking up. I will recheck that. But mainly because of that, there is an option Save the fan speed.

Hi, after several times trying, the issue still persist. If I close my macbook lid without changing the fan speed back to auto, the fan will still spins at the fan speed I set even when the lid is closed.

I'm not sure it's only on apple silicon (previously it does not work like this on intel based macs) the mac control fans are even in sleep mode. So I will add a fan reset before going to sleep mode. And it will be restored if the Save the fan speed option is enabled.

Thank you very much 🥰
