High temperature indicated on Pi4

[bcutter]

Hi, switched from Pi 3 B+ (with passive cooling and aluminium case) to Pi 4 (currently without cooling and without case) and noticed, that the red icon is currently shown in idle state of the Pi (which is at 62.8 degree celsius e. g.).

I found the calculation part in the script but... don´t fully understand it (not a coder). So:

1. Is there a way of manually setting a "red line" for the system?
(checked all config options already, couldn´t find anything for this purpose)
2. What are the parameters used by the "show icon blue/red/... algorithm"?
(every hardware and system is different, right?)

yes. This is hard coded into the script for that page is not a user configuration option. To change it you would change your local Pi-Hole code.

60c is the trip point, if I recall properly. Not hardware dependent: Pi-Hole gets the temperature from the system and applies the color accordingly.

Thanks a lot for that really fast answer. So from a user perspective there´s nothing I (we) could do on this, beside putting a feature request "make red fire icon threshold temperature a user configurable option" on the table. What you think about that?

[jfb]

A feature request is warranted.

[bcutter]

How to? Where?

This site, new topic, category feature request.

Done.

Make temperature icon threshold a user configurable setting

(see High temperature indicated on Pi4 for details) It would be good to have the "red fire icon" (warning) threshold for the temperature shown on the admin webinterface a configurable setting. Otherwise this visualization might be useless (e. g. on a Pi 4 without case and without cooling the normal temperature is around 63 degrees and therefore always in the "warning state" on the pi-hole webinterface).
