I have started with a fresh config for my new printer and the web-configurator had set the fan0 to 0.3 for me on boot:
M106 P0 S0.3 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned offI changed the S parameter value to 0.0 to have my layer fan off after powering on the printer
M106 P0 S0.0 I0 F500 H-1 -
Please tell us which fan output(s) you have your layer fan(s) connected to, and post your config.g file.

Hi,
; Fans
M106 P0 H-1 ; GCODE FAN
M106 P1 H-1 ; GCODE FAN
M106 P2 S1 I0 F500 H1 T150 ; Set fan 1 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned on a 150C -
Fan 1 is configured by default to be used as a thermostatic fan for cooling the extruder heatsink. So it is on and in thermostatic mode at startup. Your M106 P1 H1 command cancels thermostatic mode, but if you want to turn it off you should add S0 to that command.

Ok,
FAN1=P1, No?
I too, can change connection shocket. Can connect Extruder heatskin Fan, to P1, and layer fan to P0 or P2, and change "config.g", to something similar to this:

M106 P0 H-1 ; GCODE FAN
M106 P1 S1 I0 F500 H1 T150
M106 P2 H-1 ; GCODE FAN -

M106 P2 H-1 ; GCODE FANYes, that's more like what we intended. The reason we did this is that if you upload new firmware while the hot end is hot (as I often do), and something goes wrong, fan 1 will still be running to cool the heatsink and prevent a hot end jam.
