Sensor Configuration

Specify configuration file to use:

asterctl --config monitor.json

• The configuration file is loaded from the configuration directory if not an absolute path is specified.
• The default configuration directory is ./cfg and can be changed with the --config-dir command line option.

The original AOOSTAR-X json configuration file format is used, but only a subset of the configuration is supported:

• Setup object fields:
  • switchTime: Optional switch time between panels in seconds, string value interpreted as float and converted to milliseconds. Default: 5
  • refresh: Panel redraw interval in seconds specified as a float number. Default: 1
• Panel object fields in diy[]:
  • img: Background image filename. Loaded from the specified configuration directory if not an absolute path is specified.
  • sensor: Array of sensor objects.
• Sensor object fields:
  • label: label identifier, also used as sensor value data source identifier
  • integerDigits: sensor value format option: number of integer places. Value is 0-prefixed to number of places and set to 99 if overflown.
  • decimalDigits: sensor value format option: number of decimal places.
  • unit: optional unit label, appended after the sensor value
  • x: x-position
  • y: y-position
  • fontFamily: Font name matching font filename without file extension. Fonts are loaded from the configured font directory.
  • fontSize: Font size
  • fontColor: Font color in #RRGGBB notation, or -1 if not set. Examples: #ffffff = white, #ff0000 = red. Default: #ffffff
  • textAlign: Text alignment: left, right, center
  • Fields used for the fan (2), progress (3) and pointer (4) sensor modes:
    • min_value and max_value
    • width and height
    • direction
    • pic: progress image, loaded from the specified configuration directory if not an absolute path is specified.
    • min_angle and max_angle
    • xz_x and xz_y

Example configuration file: cfg/monitor.json.

Sensor values are not read from the configuration file (the sensor.value field is ignored). See Sensor Value Provider.

More options might be supported later.
