Sensor Command

The sensor command reports or sets the value of an environmental sensor or control.

The following sensor subcommands are available:

Subcommand	Description
sensor get	Returns all data associated with a sensor.
sensor set	Allows you to set some of the data associated with a specific sensor or a class of sensors.

Notes

Every command returns an exit code upon completion.
There are some sensors who's value either does not change, are there to provide information in the event of a problem, or facilitate the proper operation of the software. Many of these sensors do not have a related component (parent) associated with them (for example, a CPU's die temperature sensor has the CPU as its parent component, and a fan speed sensor has the fan as its parent component, but the product-id sensor only reports a static value and has no parent relationship). This relationship establishes which component(s) are affected by changes in the sensor's value. You cannot modify the thresholds for sensors without a parent relationship since an event will never occur for these threshold crossings.
