ASTRALMON: My Custom KDE Live Wallpaper for RTX 5090 Telemetry & Home Assistant
I built a native C system service to pull low-level telemetry directly from my Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090 and Intel Ultra 9 285K, turning it into a custom KDE Plasma live wallpaper. It tracks the exact per-pin load on the 12V-2x6 power conduits, while also pulling in Home Assistant (HA) data for ambient environment and UPS power metrics.
Since the daemon streams the output as JSON, the front-end possibilities are practically endless. My next step is building a native Android app to stream this telemetry directly to my phone.
I'll be open-sourcing the code and sharing it here as soon as I clean up some API keys.
What do you guys think?
Cheers
