Thanks. Sorry for the delay, I've been a bit swamped. I looked at your
code a bit more in depth and I would appreciate a couple more changes
if you don't mind:

So here you hard code fan_number instead of looping accross all fans,
you could just use a constant...

Why two loops ?

This looks identical between the two functions (single/multi fan), can
you factor it out into a single static helper that they both call ?
