temps
Description
Shows per-board temperature data with associated metadata.
Command
Examples
The output fields change depending on the miner model. The example below shows the fields available on a Hydro model; please check the Field Details section to see the full list of available fields.
Field details
For the METADATA section:
Alongside TEMPS, the response includes a METADATA object keyed by sensor field name (e.g. TopLeft, BoardCh0). Each entry has:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
Label | Human-readable name for UI display (e.g. "Board Exhaust (top)", "Chip (Max)", "Water Inlet"). |
Position | [x, y] grid coordinates for UI layout. |
IsCritical | true if this sensor participates in overtemp/shutdown decisions; false if it is display-only. |
For the TEMPS section:
All temperatures are in °C. The set of fields present in each TEMPS entry depends on the miner's hardware — clients should iterate the entry's keys rather than assume a fixed schema.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
ID | Board ID. Starts at zero. |
TEMP | Same as ID. |
Board | Board temperature. (Whatsminer) |
Chip | Maximum chip on-die temperature for the hashboard. (Whatsminer) |

TopRight | "Top right" board sensor. (S19, some S21 models, S19a) |
BottomLeft | "Bottom left" board sensor. (S19, some S21 models, S19a) |
BottomRight | "Bottom right" board sensor. (S19, some S21 models, S19a) |
TopLeftChip | Top-left chip temperature. (S19a) |

ChipTopRight | Top-right chip temperature. (I2C-mux models) |
BoardCh0 … BoardCh4 | Board sensor on channels 0–4. (I2C-mux hydro, e.g. U3 S21e XP Hydro) |
ChipCh0 … ChipCh4 | Chip on-die temperature on channels 0–4. (I2C-mux hydro) |
