+Kernel driver aquacomputer-d5next
+=================================
+
+Supported devices:
+
+* Aquacomputer D5 Next watercooling pump
+* Aquacomputer Farbwerk RGB controller
+* Aquacomputer Farbwerk 360 RGB controller
+* Aquacomputer Octo fan controller
+* Aquacomputer Quadro fan controller
+* Aquacomputer High Flow Next sensor
+

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver exposes hardware sensors of listed Aquacomputer devices, which
+communicate through proprietary USB HID protocols.
+
+For the D5 Next pump, available sensors are pump and fan speed, power, voltage
+and current, as well as coolant temperature and eight virtual temp sensors. Also
+available through debugfs are the serial number, firmware version and power-on
+count. Attaching a fan to it is optional and allows it to be controlled using
+temperature curves directly from the pump. If it's not connected, the fan-related
+sensors will report zeroes.
+
+The pump can be configured either through software or via its physical
+interface. Configuring the pump through this driver is not implemented, as it
+seems to require sending it a complete configuration. That includes addressable
+RGB LEDs, for which there is no standard sysfs interface. Thus, that task is
+better suited for userspace tools.
+
+The Octo exposes four physical and sixteen virtual temperature sensors, as well as
+eight PWM controllable fans, along with their speed (in RPM), power, voltage and
+current.
+
+The Quadro exposes four physical and sixteen virtual temperature sensors, a flow
+sensor and four PWM controllable fans, along with their speed (in RPM), power,
+voltage and current.
+
+The Farbwerk and Farbwerk 360 expose four temperature sensors. Additionally,
+sixteen virtual temperature sensors of the Farbwerk 360 are exposed.
+
+The High Flow Next exposes +5V voltages, water quality, conductivity and flow readings.
+A temperature sensor can be connected to it, in which case it provides its reading
+and an estimation of the dissipated/absorbed power in the liquid cooling loop.
+
+Depending on the device, not all sysfs and debugfs entries will be available.
+Writing to virtual temperature sensors is not currently supported.
+
+Usage notes
+-----------
+
+The devices communicate via HID reports. The driver is loaded automatically by
+the kernel and supports hotswapping.
