gotemp

A cli tool for getting a hwmon temperature by name. Made specifically for use with waybar.

Usage

gotemp -name <name> -warn <warn temp> -crit <crit temp> -input <specific input>

In waybar's config.json file:

  {
    "modules-right": [
      <other-entries>
      "custom/temperature",
      <other-entries>
    ],
    "custom/temperature": {
      "format": "{}",
      "exec": "gotemp -name k10temp -warn 70 -crit 90",
      "interval": 15,
      "return-type": "json"
    }
  }

In waybar's style.css file:

#custom-temperature {} /* Normal */
#custom-temperature.warning {} /* When above warn temp */
#custom-temperature.critical {} /* When above crit temp */

• gotemp -name k10temp -warn 75 -input 1
