making making install there are no folders or files named rgb_zones

I just ran out of patience i wanted to switch to linux completely only to find out playibg games does not take the fans to max automatically.I looked for many ways but could not find one as convincing as this one.And plz add installation instructions.

Could you add a license to the project? I'm not partial on which one: GPLv3, Apache, MIT, etc. more so just good to have instead of nothing. If anyone has a preference on which one, please chime in.

Module mostly works on OMEN by HP Laptop 17-ck0xxx:

• Very happy to set the colors to something less garish.
• The Omen key is available to xkb

What doesn't work:

• The P1 to P6 keys are not available to xkb.

Any progress on the fan control? That would be my major request: my laptop keeps its fan on all the time at a low speed and I'd much prefer silence...

Thanks!

hi, can you give a install pathway

According to the description of the project, this is experimental and could crash my machine.

What if I just test it on a VM? Would it be a great difference?
I just ask cause I don't have a lot of experience on VM's

Thanks to @wl2776 I've now got ACPI dumps from two different machines and I think I can properly implement Omen key detection that will work across the board.

Depending on the key and the model, a hotkey press will generate either an 0x04 (HPWMI_BEZEL_BUTTON) or 0x1D (Omen hotkey) WMI event, or (in my case) just raise a notification with no event data at all. In all cases, HPWMI_HOTKEY_QUERY needs to be called (as is already done for HPWMI_BEZEL_BUTTON) to get the ID of the key pressed.

The Omen key is 0x21A5, although wl2776's machine also appears to generate a 0x21A7 for some other key.

Looks like everything installed fine? Any ideas? HP OMEN Model: 17-cb1055cl

Thanks for your work on this!

I have got an HP tower "HP OMEN 870-155ng".
I've installed the module as follows:

(tested with Ubuntu Mate 20.04)

git clone https://github.com/pelrun/hp-omen-linux-module.git
cd hp-omen-linux-module
configure
make
sudo cp /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/hp-wmi.ko \
        /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/hp-wmi.ko.original
sudo cp hp-wmi.ko /usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/hp-wmi.ko
sudo reboot

Now I can see the devices:

$ ls /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/
zone00  zone01  zone02  zone03

$ cat /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/*
red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0
red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0
red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0
red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0

While by default the front panel light rotates colors changing it every couple of seconds,
writing to the zone device definitely changes the behavior.
So the new module somehow works!

echo '00FF00' > /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/zone00
echo '00FF00' > /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/zone01
echo '00FF00' > /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/zone02
echo '00FF00' > /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/zone03

# cat /sys/devices/platform/hp-wmi/rgb_zones/*
red: 0, green: 255, blue: 0
red: 0, green: 255, blue: 0
red: 0, green: 255, blue: 0
red: 0, green: 255, blue: 0

Now the color rotation has stopped and the light has turned to pure red.
But I would like to have it green!
Looks like color encoding somehow differs for my model?
Do you have any ideas how to reverse engineer the values for my device or what to try out?

I'm new to Linux, can anyone please tell me what to do with the steps. I badly want my keyboard lighting changed. Thanks beforehand.

Firstly thank you for your work.
I have an Omen 16 and this module lets me control the zones and colors.
What I would like to do is adjust the led brightness and turn the leds on and off from a script.

I was hoping that using evtest I could replicate the FN F4 command that turns the leds on and off, but the FN button does not register.

If you do have any ideas how to turn off the keyboard leds when the screen turns off and how to control the brightness please let me know.

Thanks for this, works flawlessly with the Omen 15 on Pop Os after Rebooting, any chance of getting this to work with the Omen Wireless Mouse(Vector)?

Basically I run 'sensors' and have my fan data

But after I install this module it's just gone. Might be a conflict related to this.

In another issue I read that the app interface is different for different models. Could you implement it for my model?

I'll send you a dump and a copy of this message from this post.

I think I've found a bug where if you try to change both zones 00 and 01 at the same time (for example with a single line in the terminal, with two commands separated by | or in a script that changes all zones to different colours at the same time), zone00 will take both the values for 00 and 01 (if you try to set 00 to 00FF00 and 01 to 0000FF, 01 will be changed to 0000FF and 00 will be changed to 00FFFF).

When I tried it in terminal sometimes 00 would take the appropriate value and sometimes the mixed value but completely at random.

When I tried to run a script that updates every zone with values from an array with three values using a loop, it'll at first take the correct value, then a mix from the one it should and the one 01 takes, and finally it'll take "000000"
like this:
array[]={1,2,3}

first iteration:
00->1
01->2
02->3

second iteration:
00->3+1
01->1
02->2

third iteration:
00->" "
01->3
02->1

What's the status on the new Omen models? Some codes for them are the 15-en0029nr and the 15-en0036nr.

I have install your module but on my PC I can shutdown the light under windows with OMEN Command Center but on linux how to proceed ? linux mint 20.2 5.4.0-90 generic
thanks

I have a notebook HP Omen 17-cb1055cl. It has 6 macro keys P1-P6.
Is there exists any possibility to enable these keys in linux?

Is this project dead?

Necessary for end-user installs.

Hello @pelrun, I would be interested in contributing but the README don't say much.. Information about how to install and test would be helpful. On top of this I could develop an interface like HP COMMAND CENTER with GTK/TK libraries.
