I have a few HDDs attached to my HAOS installation which is on my rpi 4, I want to monitor the HDD temps via some cards on the dashboard

tropic seal
#

Can anyone help please

Does the temperature show in glances?

Can you show me a not too cropped picture? I'm not sure you're running it in the right context.

You need to follow exactly what I wrote.

In Advanced SSH Addon
The Core SSH Addon is inadequate for this.

Ah ok

#

yeah ok that works

jagged mortar
#

Good. Basically you need an automation that runs this on startup or before running the command

(command -v smartctl || apk add --no-cache smartmontools) >/dev/null 2>&1

And a command_line sensor to call commands and extract the data: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/command_line/

Ok thanks

jagged mortar
#

For example try this command

smartctl -A /dev/sda | awk '/^190/ {print $10}'

You might want to apk add gawk first.

tropic seal
#

Yeah just trying to figure out how to do the automation to run the apk command

You can also just add the code above before every call. Fairly lightweight.

#

You could put in in a script like this for example and clal that instead

#!/usr/bin/env bash
(command -v smartctl || apk add --no-cache smartmontools) >/dev/null 2>&1

smartctl -A "$@"

Save it in /share/hddtemp.sh and call it like bash /share/hddtemp.sh /dev/sda or something.

tbh im not sure how to do any of this, fairly new to all of this

jagged mortar
#

Note that these sdX names are not reliable and will change upon reboot but I already wrote all the code you need so I leave that to you to figure out 🙂

tropic seal
#

ok thx

jagged mortar
#

Hint. Try to give it a disk from the output here

ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/
tropic seal
#

ok

jagged mortar
#

You can still ask me things and keep me updated on your progress.

tropic seal
#

will do

#

Error:extra keys not allowed @ data['hdd_temp']. Got '(command -v smartctl || apk add --no-cache smartmontools) >/dev/null 2>&1' extra keys not allowed @ data['shell_command']. Got None.

ive made an automation doesnt seem to work

#

` alias: HDD Temp
description: ''
triggers:

  • trigger: homeassistant
    event: start
    conditions: []
    actions:
  • action: shell_command.hdd_temp
    mode: single
    shell_command:
    hdd_temp: '(command -v smartctl || apk add --no-cache smartmontools) >/dev/null 2>&1' `

Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:

Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.

Your automation only installs the package. I recommend you to put this in a script as explained and call that.

tropic seal
#

Ah ok

jagged mortar
#

It's less work to use the script and it's self-contained. You can call it again and easily test it. The disadvantage is that there can be a slight delay for the first call but that shouldn't be an issue.

tropic seal
#

Yeah I'll try it in a bit

tropic seal
#

still getting this error for some reason

Error:expected dictionary @ data['actions'][0]. Got 's' extra keys not allowed @ data['run_backup']. Got 'bash homeassistant/hdd_temp.sh /dev/sda' extra keys not allowed @ data['shell_command']. Got None.

jagged mortar
#

I'd recommend you use full paths (leading /) and enclose the command in quotes. It's also not indented properly.

#

Does the command work in the CLI?

I meant the path to the file, actually. You have no idea what the path is the script runs in so relative paths are unwise.
