Temperature Sensor Monitor for Apple Silicon M1

  • temp_sensor.m: A modified version of the code for iOS sensor by freedomtan;

  • monitor.cpp: A c++ wrapper of Objective-C output for monitoring temperature in the terminal.

Usage

./temp_sensor | ./monitor

Only test with my Mac mini with M1. Please check your mac's ioreg -lfx output if needed.

For intel Mac, an easier way to get sensor infomation:

sudo powermetrics
