Module Developer Challenge - I surrender!

@Mykle1 Depending on the style/implementation you’re using, you may want to read up on Promises in JS.

Also, see this note here about the lm-sensors package.

Alternatively, have a look at MMM-SystemStats which uses vcgencmd on the CLI to retrieve the system temp, which would be far easier to integrate into your current module.

Thanks ninja. I will give this a shot first. In fact, I’m going to look at that right now.

@Mykle1 Hmm, it may be that vcgencmd is specific to the RPi. You can try these; acpi seems like a contender, as does lm-sensors.

Ha! I see. Ok, on to the others. :-)

@Mykle1 It actually might be best to run cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/type to see if they’re already populating on your Ubuntu install. If so, you can run cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp to get all the values, or just cat a specific one. Should be to three decimal places (i.e. 64000 means 64.000°C).

You might run it a few times to see that the values change, and if they do, then use the same exec() method from MMM-SystemStats with the right command and some math.

Made some progress with lm-sensors which gives me great hope. I can see the return in the terminal but not in the node_helper. Still, I’m encouraged. I’ll continue to work on it tomorrow. I’m feeling a bit tired tonight.

@Mykle1 Not sure what you’re doing in your code. But…

1. You’ll get a temp reading for each cpu core, so you need to choose|add|average…, and
2. How do you execute the script? Did you give it proper permissions?
3. I’m you already know, but you also need to allow the external file to be read from node_helper.js.

Neither am I. :-)

@Mykle1 you might want to upload your current version to a github branch so we can see what your doing

He can’t it’s a secret HAHHAHAHAHHA
