.SH NAME

waybar \- temperature module
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBtemperature\fR module displays the current temperature from a thermal zone.\&
.PP
.SH CONFIGURATION
.PP
Addressed by \fBtemperature\fR
.PP
\fBthermal\-zone\fR: 
.br
typeof: integer 
.br
The thermal zone, as in \fB/sys/class/thermal/\fR.\&
.PP
\fBhwmon\-path\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
The temperature path to use, e.\&g.\& \fB/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input\fR instead of one in \fB/sys/class/thermal/\fR.\&
.RS 4
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.\&
.PP
.RE
\fBhwmon\-path\-abs\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
The path of the hwmon\-directory of the device, e.\&g.\& \fB/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.\&3/hwmon\fR.\& (Note that the subdirectory \fBhwmon/hwmon#\fR, where \fB#\fR is a number is not part of the path!\&) Has to be used together with \fBinput\-filename\fR.\&
.RS 4
This can also be an array of strings, for which, it just works like \fBhwmon\-path\fR.\&
.PP
.RE
\fBinput\-filename\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
The temperature filename of your \fBhwmon\-path\-abs\fR, e.\&g.\& \fBtemp1_input\fR
.PP
\fBwarning\-threshold\fR: 
.br
typeof: integer 
.br
The threshold before it is considered warning (Celsius).\&
.PP
\fBcritical\-threshold\fR: 
.br
typeof: integer 
.br
The threshold before it is considered critical (Celsius).\&
.PP
\fBinterval\fR: 
.br
typeof: integer or float 
.br
default: 10 
.br
The interval in which the information gets polled.\&
.PP
\fBformat\-warning\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
The format to use when temperature is considered warning
.PP
\fBformat\-critical\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
The format to use when temperature is considered critical
.PP
\fBformat\fR: 
.br
typeof: string  
.br
default: {temperatureC}°C 
.br
The format (Celsius/Fahrenheit/Kelvin) in which the temperature should be displayed.\&
.PP
\fBformat\-icons\fR: 
.br
typeof: array 
.br
Based on the current temperature (Celsius) and \fBcritical\-threshold\fR if available, the corresponding icon gets selected.\& The order is \fBlow\fR to \fBhigh\fR.\&
.PP
\fBtooltip\-format\fR: 
.br
typeof: string  
.br
default: {temperatureC}°C 
.br
The format for the tooltip
.PP
\fBrotate\fR: 
.br
typeof: integer 
.br
Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).\&
.PP
\fBmax\-length\fR: 
.br
typeof: integer 
.br
The maximum length in characters the module should display.\&
.PP
\fBmin\-length\fR: 
.br
typeof: integer 
.br
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.\&
.PP
\fBalign\fR: 
.br
typeof: float 
.br
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.\&
.PP
\fBjustify\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
The alignment of the text within the module'\&s label, allowing options '\&left'\&, '\&right'\&, or '\&center'\& to define the positioning.\&
.PP
\fBon\-click\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
Command to execute when you click on the module.\&
.PP
\fBon\-click\-middle\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
Command to execute when middle\-clicked on the module using mousewheel.\&
.PP
\fBon\-click\-right\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
Command to execute when you right\-click on the module.\&
.PP
\fBon\-update\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
Command to execute when the module is updated.\&
.PP
\fBon\-scroll\-up\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.\&
.PP
\fBon\-scroll\-down\fR: 
.br
typeof: string 
.br
Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.\&
.PP
\fBsmooth\-scrolling\-threshold\fR: 
.br
typeof: double 
.br
Threshold to be used when scrolling.\&
.PP
\fBtooltip\fR: 
.br
