lm-sensors is a Linux user-space package providing tools and the libsensors library for hardware monitoring chips on motherboards. It includes sensors-detect for discovering hardware, a sensors CLI for reading temperatures/fan speeds/voltages, and a sensord logging daemon.
Use cases
- check cpu temperature on linux
- monitor fan speeds from the command line
- detect hardware monitoring chips on my motherboard
- log sensor readings and alert on overheating
- read voltage levels from system sensors
- script temperature checks in a monitoring setup
When to choose
- you run Linux on a desktop or server with a hardware monitoring chip and want sensor readings
- you need a lightweight CLI or daemon for temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
- you want a C library (libsensors) to read sensor data programmatically
When to avoid
- you are on a laptop that only exposes temperature via ACPI/BIOS
- you need chip-specific support not covered by your kernel drivers - updating lm-sensors won't help
- you need cross-platform hardware monitoring on Windows or macOS
