About:
Liquidctl is a cross-platform CLI tool that monitors and controls liquid coolers, AIOs, and RGB lighting. It provides a unified interface for devices from major vendors like Corsair, NZXT, and EVGA. Its main value is enabling programmatic hardware control and monitoring on Linux, Windows, and macOS.
|
Key Features:
- Unified CLI for dozens of coolers and RGB controllers
- Support for Corsair, NZXT, EVGA, and other vendors
- Scriptable automation via command-line flags
- JSON output for easy integration with monitoring tools
- Cross-platform (Linux, Windows, macOS)
|
Use Cases:
- Automating fan and pump speeds based on sensor readings
- Integrating cooler metrics into monitoring dashboards like Prometheus or InfluxDB
- Controlling RGB lighting states via scripts or cron jobs
- Managing hardware on Linux where vendor software is unavailable
|
Alternatives:
-
OpenHardwareMonitor
– Windows-focused monitoring; lacks liquidctl's deep AIO/RGB control and Linux support.
-
lm-sensors
– Great for motherboard sensors but does not control liquid coolers or RGB.
