-===== Command Line =====
-  * Set the fan mode: \\ ```sh
+==== Command Line ====
-$ fan.sh off
-$ fan.sh on
+You can also use commands to control the fan from the terminal.
-$ fan.sh auto
+=== Set the fan mode ===
+^ fan mode ^ command ^
+| off | ''fan.sh off'' |
+| on | ''fan.sh on'' |
+| auto | ''fan.sh auto'' |
+=== Get the fan mode ===
+```shell
+fan.sh mode
 ```
-  * Read the fan mode: \\ ```sh
-$ fan.sh mode
+=== Set the fan speed ===
+^ fan speed ^ command ^
+| high | ''fan.sh high'' |
+| mid | ''fan.sh mid'' |
+| low | ''fan.sh low'' |
+=== Get CPU temperature ===
+```shell
+fan.sh temp
 ```
-  * Set the fan speed: \\ ```sh
-$ fan.sh high
+=== Get and Set the trigger temperature ===
-$ fan.sh mid
-$ fan.sh low
+You can read the trigger temperature from the following nodes:
+^ fan mode ^ trigger temp parameter ^
+| low | ''/sys/class/fan/trigger_temp_low'' |
+| mid | ''/sys/class/fan/trigger_temp_mid'' |
+| high | ''/sys/class/fan/trigger_temp_high'' |
+Example: Get the low trigger temperature:
+```shell
+cat /sys/class/fan/trigger_temp_low
 ```
-  * Read the fan speed: \\ ```sh
-$ fan.sh level
+Example: Set the low trigger temperature to ''40'' Celsius.
+```shell
+echo 40 | sudo tee /sys/class/fan/trigger_temp_low
 ```
-  * Read CPU temperature: \\ ```sh
-$ fan.sh temp
+<WRAP tip >
+The trigger temperature only affects the fan when it is in auto mode.
+</WRAP>
+=== Mainline linux ===
+The fan is controlled automatically by the Linux thermal subsystem. Temperatures are in millidegrees Celsius.
+Example: Get the auto trigger temperature:
 ```
+cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_temp
+```
+Example: set the auto trigger temp to 40000 millicelcius
+```
+echo 40000 | sudo tee /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_temp
+```
+<WRAP tip >
+To turn the fan off, set the trigger temperature to a higher value (e.g., 80000). \\
+To turn the fan on, set the trigger temperature to a lower value (e.g., 10000).
+</WRAP>
 ===== Android =====
+Check system settings to control the fan.
