lm-sensors is the canonical Linux project for reading motherboard and peripheral hardware sensors—temperatures, fan speeds, voltages—and exposing them to userspace. It ships a probing utility (sensors-detect) that identifies I²C/SMBus chips and kernel drivers, then a runtime tool (sensors) that prints human-readable readings for quick diagnostics. The companion library, libsensors, gives applications a stable API to query sensor values, enabling desktop applets, monitoring daemons, and alerting systems to build on a common foundation. Configuration files map raw chip registers to friendly labels and scaling factors, so outputs reflect real hardware characteristics across many vendors. ...

mbpfan is a lightweight daemon for Linux that provides fan speed management for MacBook and MacBook Pro hardware. It reads temperature data via the coretemp kernel module and drives fan speeds through the applesmc interface, making it especially valuable for users running Linux natively on Apple hardware where automatic thermal control may be lacking. The daemon supports multiple processors and multiple fans, allowing flexible configurations for complex Mac models, and aims to keep systems...

This is a Linux driver for ThinkPad laptops, written by Borislav Deianov and Henrique de Moraes Holschuh. It aims to support various features of these laptops which are accessible through a ThinkPad-specific ACPI framework. The newest version is available in the latest version of the Linux kernel.
