waybar - temperature module

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

Addressed by temperature

thermal-zone:
typeof: integer
The thermal zone, as in /sys/class/thermal/.

hwmon-path:
typeof: string
The temperature path to use, e.g. /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input instead of one in /sys/class/thermal/.

This can also be an array of strings. In this case, waybar will check each item in the array and use the first valid one. This is suitable if you want to share the same configuration file among different machines with different hardware configurations.

hwmon-path-abs:
typeof: string
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.

This can also be an array of strings, for which, it just works like hwmon-path.

input-filename:
typeof: string
The temperature filename of your hwmon-path-abs, e.g. temp1_input

critical-threshold:
typeof: integer
The threshold before it is considered critical (Celsius).

interval:
typeof: integer
default: 10
The interval in which the information gets polled.

format-critical:
typeof: string
The format to use when temperature is considered critical

format:
typeof: string
default: {temperatureC}°C
The format (Celsius/Fahrenheit/Kelvin) in which the temperature should be displayed.

format-icons:
typeof: array
Based on the current temperature (Celsius) and critical-threshold if available, the corresponding icon gets selected. The order is low to high.

tooltip-format:
typeof: string
default: {temperatureC}°C
The format for the tooltip

rotate:
typeof: integer
Positive value to rotate the text label.

max-length:
typeof: integer
The maximum length in characters the module should display.

min-length:
typeof: integer
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align:
typeof: float
The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

justify:
typeof: string
The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.

on-click:
typeof: string
Command to execute when you click on the module.

on-click-middle:
typeof: string
Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.

on-click-right:
typeof: string
Command to execute when you right-click on the module.

on-update:
typeof: string
Command to execute when the module is updated.

on-scroll-up:
typeof: string
Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.

on-scroll-down:
typeof: string
Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.

smooth-scrolling-threshold:
typeof: double
Threshold to be used when scrolling.

tooltip:
typeof: bool
default: true
Option to disable tooltip on hover.

menu:
typeof: string
Action that popups the menu.

menu-file:
typeof: string
Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type

GtkMenu with id menu

menu-actions:
typeof: array
The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.

{temperatureC}: Temperature in Celsius.

{temperatureF}: Temperature in Fahrenheit.

{temperatureK}: Temperature in Kelvin.
