CLI Machines Thermal Status

ed machines thermal status

ed machines thermal status <machine> reports the active Linux platform profile and every profile offered by the machine. It is the group's default subcommand.

ed machines thermal status <machine> [--json]

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
<machine>	machine name, SSH alias, UUID or unambiguous prefix	required	Which machine to inspect.
--json	flag	off	Emit one state object on stdout.

ed machines thermal status tuf
ed machines tuf thermal status
ed machines thermal status tuf --json

The human form prints MACHINE, CURRENT and AVAILABLE columns. JSON returns one object with machine, current and choices fields:

{
  "choices": [
    "low-power",
    "balanced",
    "performance"
  ],
  "current": "balanced",
  "machine": "Asus TUF 7"
}

The command runs a 15-second remote read. It succeeds only when both /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile and /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile_choices are readable, the current value contains only letters, digits, hyphens or underscores, and the current value is one of the reported choices.

This command exits 4 when the machine cannot be reached or does not expose both platform profile sysfs files. An unknown or ambiguous machine exits 3. It does not need sudo and does not change the machine.

Fan RPM is streamed into the Cooling card in the app by the normal machine metrics connection. The status command focuses on the writable profile state.
