Interpretation

Messages to the device: set fan and pump speeds; 65 bytes long; sent every 5 seconds.

Note: CAM v3.6.5 only regularly sends fan speed updates; this must have to do with the behavior observed on linux that setting either pump or fan manual speed restores previously set manual speed for the other channel.

0x00	0x02	0x02	??
0x01	0x4d	0x4d	??
