Hi,

Recently, I was looking for a plugin that could display the hard disk temperature, since high temperature is one of the most critical factors that can damage HDDs. As I couldn’t find any plugin that provided this feature, I decided to develop one myself, I successfully created the plugin, and it works seamlessly with both Python 2 and Python 3. I have tested it on Dreambox and Vu+ receivers without encountering any issues. I named the   plugin

“” Disk & CPU Temperature by iet5 “”.

Main Features:

• Display CPU and internal/external HDD temperature.
• Accurate readings: attempts to read temperature from multiple sources (sysfs for CPU, smartctl for HDD).
• Dynamic colors changing with temperature levels (Green → Yellow → Red).
• Multi-stage warnings: First – Second – Final.
• Visual alert: Popup + warning bar at the top of the screen.
• Configurable alert duration: 5 – 20 seconds.
• Toggle button to enable/disable warnings when needed.
• HDD management: wakes up HDD from sleep mode to read its temperature.
• Detailed log with events saved in /tmp/diskcputemp.log.
• Automatic refresh of readings every 5 seconds.
• Easy graphical interface with buttons (Exit – Save – Default – Disable Warning).
• Customizable settings with save/restore to default options.
• Support for multiple HDDs simultaneously.
• Logs every reading and warning with date & time.
• Lightweight performance without slowing down the device.

Temp to Color Function:

• Lightweight performance without slowing down the device.
• Low temperature → Light Green (Good condition).
• Medium temperature → Yellow / Orange (Warning: temperature is rising).
• High temperature → Red (Danger: very high temperature).
• Error or no data → White (Default).

New Gradient Mapping:

• Blue → Cyan (0–20%): Low temperatures.
• Cyan → Green (20–40%): Moderate temperatures.
• Green → Yellow (40–60%): Warm temperatures.
• Yellow → Orange (60–80%): High temperatures.
• Orange → Red (80–100%): Very high temperatures.

This gradient better matches human perception of temperature: blue is associated with cold, and red with heat.

User Benefits:

• Protects your device from overheating that may cause slowdown or damage.
• Allows real-time monitoring of CPU and HDD status directly from the Enigma2 interface.
• Provides early warnings before temperatures reach dangerous levels.
• Flexible configuration of warning thresholds without manual file editing.
• Optimized for continuous operation: lightweight and logs everything.

Best wishes to the users

Now version 1.2.3

The new update in the plugin: the skin frames have been modified, and it now includes two skins, so each user can choose the design they prefer, either FHD1 or FHD2.

The selection is made using the yellow button.

Also, the name and function of the yellow button have been changed to switch skin instead of return to default.

The chosen skin will be saved.

Tested on Marlin image and OpenATV, meaning it works with Py2 & Py3.

Dear

please Check the hard drive Name.

For the internal one, the default should be hdd.

For the second hard drive, name it hdd2.

See the labels in the attached screenshot.

Hi,

Now version 1.3 is released.

The code has been reviewed and several improvements have been added:

• Plugin interface improvements

• The plugin now automatically detects the device resolution and selects the best option.

• Button control (Toggle Key):

  • Old: Switching between skins was possible only with the Yellow button.

  • New: A toggle_key variable has been introduced, which is recognized from the settings or the script itself → allowing it to be changed later.

• Version number: The plugin now takes the version number from a single place to avoid mistakes.

  • Old: The version was hard-coded inside the script.

  • New: The version is read from an external file in the plugin folder.

After changing the "py" file you shared, the same error continued to occur.

Please give me details about the type of receiver you have, the type of hard disk, the name of the image you are using, and also the skin. We can also try changing to another image and skin. Try and reply to

You can see it in the messages I wrote above.

The CPU and HDD temperature displays are normal in v1.2.3 of the plugin.

The problem occurred when you updated the plugin to v1.3.

In my messages above, I shared screenshots and reports of the old and new versions of the plugin.

Dear,

I have the same receiver as you (DM920) with the Merlin image, and everything is working fine with the plugin.

I’m just surprised because we have the same hardware, and you are facing an issue while I don’t have any

There is an important point I forgot to mention: after replacing the plugin.py file, you must delete any *.pyo files (for Dream images) or *.pyc files (for open-source images). After that, restart your receiver.

i want you to test file which i uploaded today morning.

Please replace the file again, delete the mentioned files as explained earlier, then restart and report back.

Even though I've implemented what you wrote, the strange HDD temperature issue persists. Also, when I first access the plugin, text appears in the area with the colors at the top.

Hi

i solved the pb and tested with another friend and no pb , please check and reply , to make new release

After replacing the "py" file you last shared with the one in the plugin, the "hdd" temperature started to appear at normal values.

There is no problem.

could you please test this file because i add SSD & NVME and Attach screen shoot .
