lm_sensors provides essential tools for monitoring the temperatures, voltages, and fans of Linux systems with hardware monitoring devices. It contains a library for sensors access (libsensors), a command-line tool for sensor reporting (sensors), and a daemon (sensord). It also contains scripts for sensor hardware identification and fan speed control.

Recent releases


Changes: This is a maintenance release with essentially a collection of small bugfixes. In particular, multiple configuration file support now works regardless of the filesystem in use, and sensord received a lot of cleanups.


Changes: Sensors-detect was largely rewritten to be both smaller and smarter. Support for multiple configuration files was added to libsensors, as well as support for instantaneous power sensors and current sensors. The default configuration file went on a diet, resulting in a big performance boost and hopefully less confusion for the users.


Changes: User-space support for the IT8720F chip was added. The i2c-i801, i2c-piix4, lm78, lm90, and max1619 drivers were cleaned up. Support for the Intel PCH "Ibex Peak" SMBus master was added. sensord will no longer bail out on transient errors. The it87 driver temperature sensor types decoding was fixed.


Changes: pwmconfig has been improved a lot and is now slightly less user-unfriendly. sensors-detect knows of a dozen additional devices, and was made more reliable for another half dozen.


Changes: The libsensors compatibility issue with kernel 2.6.26 has been fixed. Fixes to the asb100, i2c-amd756, i2c-amd756-s4882, i2c-piix4, i2c-sis5595, lm75, and w83l785ts drivers were backported from Linux 2.6. Support for the LM90/ADM1032 and compatible was added to sensord.

We have been admittedly slow to announce the 2.8.8 release here. It is done now, thanks for pointing this out.
