temperature switch not working

Hey there, I just got the Azteeg X5 GT, stepper drivers, and Viki2 LCD, and really like it, but the temperature switch doesn’t work. I want my hotend fan to turn on only when the hotend is on or above a threshold.

First, I wasn’t able to turn the fan on at all because of a mislabeled pin (2nd fan pin is 1.22 not 1.25). I notified Panucatt and they told me the right pin, but the fan is now always on. I thought maybe this was some fail safe like on PCs, which also spin the fans at max RPM during boot up. But even after a few minutes, the fan is still on.

I can turn it on/off with the M42/M43 command, so I don’t think this is a hardware problem.

I’m using the latest edge smoothieware and this config (config_GT.zip, with temperatureswitch section uncommented and switch.misc.enable = true)
