better-sensors

An improvement upon the Linux utility sensors, providing min/max tracking, efficient looping, colored output, and configurability.

Installation

better-sensors depends upon libsensors and, as such, only supports Linux

• Install libsensors5 and libsensors-dev using your favorite package manager
• Clone this repository
• Execute cd better-sensors && cmake . && make

Usage

For ease of use, it is recommended to move the better-sensors binary from bin/better-sensors into your PATH.

• better-sensors -h for help and options.

Example

To achieve continuous execution and colored output, use better-sensors --loop -t 65:75 where

• Current temperature isn't colored if 65 > temp
• Current temperature is orange if 65 <= temp < 75
• Current temperature is red if temp >= 75
