I used the following settings for levels, since my fan is quite loud. This might be a bit unhealthy for the hardware, but useful if someone else wants a silent as possible setting

levels:
  - [0, 0, 61]
  - [1, 53, 67]
  - [2, 65, 71]
  - [3, 68, 77]
  - [4, 72, 79]
  - [5, 75, 84]
  - ["level disengaged", 83, 255]
#- ["level auto", 45, 75]
