DESCRIPTION

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

CONFIGURATION

Addressed by temperature

Option	Typeof	Default	Description
thermal-zone	integer		The thermal zone, as in /sys/class/thermal/.
hwmon-path	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	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.
hwmon-name	string		Select a hwmon device by its name (from /sys/class/hwmon/*/name), e.g. amdgpu. Requires input-filename to be set. Cannot be used together with hwmon-path or hwmon-path-abs.
input-filename	string		The temperature filename of your hwmon-path-abs (also used by hwmon-by-name), e.g. temp1_input
hwmon-by-name	string		The substring to search for in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/name (where hwmonX is any folder in /sys/class/hwmon/). Waybar will search for every directory in /sys/class/hwmon/ and uses the directory in which the name matches hwmon-by-name.
warning-threshold	integer		The threshold before it is considered warning (Celsius).
critical-threshold	integer		The threshold before it is considered critical (Celsius).
interval	integer or float	10	The interval in which the information gets polled.
format-warning	string		The format to use when temperature is considered warning
format-critical	string		The format to use when temperature is considered critical
format	string	{temperatureC}°C	The format (Celsius/Fahrenheit/Kelvin) 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.
tooltip-format	string	{temperatureC}°C	The format for the tooltip
rotate	integer		Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).
max-length	integer		The maximum length in characters the module should display.
min-length	integer		The minimum length in characters the module should accept.
align	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	string		The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.
on-click	string		Command to execute when you click on the module.
on-click-middle	string		Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.
on-click-right	string		Command to execute when you right-click on the module.
on-update	string		Command to execute when the module is updated.
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 disable tooltip on hover.
menu	string		Action that popups the menu.
menu-file	string		Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type GtkMenu with id menu
menu-actions	array		The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.
expand	bool	false	Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.

FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

{temperatureC}: Temperature in Celsius.

{temperatureF}: Temperature in Fahrenheit.

{temperatureK}: Temperature in Kelvin.

{icon}: Icon, as selected from format-icons based on the current temperature.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Finding your thermal zone

To list all the thermal zone types, run:

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

Finding an hwmon path

If you do not have a thermal zone, use sensors to find the 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 the path to the desired file, then set it in hwmon-path.
