Hello,
is there a (non-hacking ...) way to access eBlocker OS to monitor e.g. CPU load, temperature or similar system parameters? Ideally via existing smartphone apps providing such functions. Just for the sake of keeping an eye on hardware stress and power consumption.
Thank you!
Good morning @hh161f,
as there is no user, ssh access etc, there is no non-hacking way of doing this right now.
But you can use the Feature-Request in the forum to place your feature-wish.
cheers

@hh161f Under normal circumstances (Pi running just eOS) there is no need to watch hardware parameters.
And worse: what are you gonna do if you feel CPU has high load? Stop using the Internet and read a book? What do you do if your SmartTV has high CPU load or your phone? You probably don't care much - as you don't know. Same here... please just care less 😋
If you want my opinion: Grab a Raspi 4. Full throttle and no need to watch any parameters - also in future.
But you wish is heard: add your vote to this feature and hope for the best 😉
@random Just some situations, where it could make sense...
The place where the eBlocker has been attached is not well aired and it gets too warm. In such a case, it would be helpfull to see, that not the cpu, but only the temperature is getting high.
You got a lot of more situation, where such information could be helpful, not only to see if the eBlocker processes are running at "normal" but also when an update makes trouble on some devices and you see the trouble making process for debugging 🙂
cheers

@calimero For developers: no doubt, it makes sense. But they can access the proc system and get all info at hand. Implementing an App/API/basics for authentication and the business logic is a lot of work for a feature that's making a handful of end users happy.
I'm always thinking of my mum - the regular user. Would she care how much CPU a device has? Probably not.
To my opinion we should rather solve problems and build features that 99.9% of the user find helpful, like my mum.
But hey: The feature voting list is there. Let's see who's picking the berry 😉
Hi,
see this post:
https://eblocker.org/community/feature-priorities/status-display/#post-243
At this time SPI Interface ist not activated at the raspberry pi in the eblocker-image 😴
I think it is an idea to set these two settings in the image. then anyone who want to connect an
WS2812 Led can do this. 🤔

@pio78 Do I get you right: it‘s just the flag to set internally (indicating the LED’s presence) and the existing code will work?
Is the LED you are referring to a standard component that other users just can buy or is there more to it?
Could you please be a little more verbose (maybe in the supporters forum) to get this coordinated with the team and set on track.
Thanks very much 😀
that's right
