Module: Temperature

The temperature module displays the current temperature from a thermal zone.

Config

Addressed by temperature

option	typeof	default	description
thermal-zone	integer		The thermal zone, as in /sys/class/thermal/.
hwmon-path	string/array		The temperature path to use, e.g. /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input instead of one in /sys/class/thermal/.
hwmon-path-abs	string/array		The path of the hwmon-directory of the device, e.g. /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/hwmon. (Note that the subdirectory hwmon/hwmon#, where # is a number, is not part of the path!) Has to be used together with input-filename.
input-filename	string		The temperature filename of your hwmon-path-abs, e.g. temp1_input
critical-threshold	integer		The threshold before it is considered critical (Celsius).
interval	integer	10	The interval in which the information gets polled.
format-critical	string		The format to use when temperature is considered critical
format	string	{temperatureC}°C	The format (Celsius/Farenheit) in which the temperature should be displayed.
format-icons	array		Based on the current temperature (Celsius) and critical-threshold if available, the corresponding icon gets selected. The order is low to high.
rotate	integer		Positive value to rotate the text label.
max-length	integer		The maximum length in characters the module should display.
on-click	string		Command to execute when you clicked on the module.
on-click-middle	string		Command to execute when you middle clicked on the module using mousewheel.
on-click-right	string		Command to execute when you right clicked on the module.
on-scroll-up	string		Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.
on-scroll-down	string		Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.
smooth-scrolling-threshold	double		Threshold to be used when scrolling.
tooltip	bool	true	Option to enable tooltip on hover.
tooltip-format	string	{temperatureC}°C	The format for the tooltip

Format replacements:

string	replacement
{temperatureC}	Temperature in Celsius.
{temperatureF}	Temperature in Fahrenheit.
{temperatureK}	Temperature in Kelvin.
{icon}	Icon, as defined in format-icons.

Example:

 "temperature": {
    // "thermal-zone": 2,
    // "hwmon-path": "/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input",
    // "critical-threshold": 80,
    // "format-critical": "{temperatureC}°C ",
    "format": "{temperatureC}°C "
}

Debugging

Finding your thermal zone

To list all the zone types, run

 for i in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*; do echo "$i: $(<$i/type)"; done

Finding hwmon path

If you don't have a thermal zone, another option is to use sensors to find preferred temperature source, then run

for i in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*/temp*_input; do echo "$(<$(dirname $i)/name): $(cat ${i%_*}_label 2>/dev/null || echo $(basename ${i%_*})) $(readlink -f $i)"; done

to find path to desired file. Then include it in hwmon-path variable.
