Note the active mode and the remote settings before changing anything. Three modes and several ten-step controls add up, so returning to a working state afterwards is otherwise guesswork. A short note makes it reversible.
Three control modes and several ten-step settings sound manageable right up until you actually try to switch back to a setup you liked on the ASH-S1, at which point it becomes clear the remote does not display any of its own current values. Writing them down first is the only reliable way back.
Before changing modes, note the currently active mode along with the preset number and the brightness, speed and effect levels in use, since the remote does not show any of this on a display. Restoring a setup you liked afterwards is otherwise a matter of working back through several ten-step controls by trial and error. The ASH-S1 costs R349 and supports remote, auto-temp and motherboard-sync modes.
Unlike a lot of RGB software running on a PC, the ASH-S1's remote has no screen and no way to query what it is currently doing - the settings live in the hub, applied and adjusted, but not displayed back to you. That is fine day to day, but the moment you want to try motherboard sync or auto-temp and then return to exactly what the remote was doing before, there is nothing to read the old values off. A short note - active mode, preset number, brightness, speed, effect level - turns that into a five-second lookup instead of guesswork.
Moving into motherboard-sync mode hands lighting control to the board's own software, so the hub's own settings step aside rather than being lost outright - they should still be there when you switch back, but relying on memory to confirm that is asking for trouble. Auto-temp changes how fan speed behaves without touching the lighting side at all, so if only fan behaviour is changing, the lighting notes matter less for that particular switch.
The moment this matters most is adding board RGB software to a build partway through its life, or a shared machine where a remote-driven lighting scheme becomes inconvenient once several people are adjusting it. Recording the fan-side settings alongside the lighting ones is worth doing too, since auto-temp mode replaces the fan speed control the remote otherwise offers. If a mode switch happens to reveal a fan or two that needs replacing anyway, Evetech's case fan range is worth a look, and anyone who would genuinely rather have on-screen settings than a remote-only approach should weigh up the NZXT fan controller instead.
