Displaying Cpu Temperature Within Home Assistant

Oops that one is on me!

try:

sensor:    
  - platform: command_line
    name: CPU Temperature
    command: 'cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp'
    unit_of_measurement: '°C'
    value_template: '{{ value | multiply(0.001) }}'

See the example here: https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.command_line/

Also, are you re-running Home Assistant each time you want to check?

If you are there’s a quicker way to check if the config files will work, just type in a terminal:

hass --script check_config
