# Troubleshooting:
# if you get the error "VCHI initialization failed"
# on running the above commands via vcgencmd, then you need
# to add your default "unprivilaged" user to the group 'video'
# Run:
# sudo usermod -G video piuser

Thanks for this. I updated my .bashrc file to run this when I log in via SSH:

if [[ -n $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then
    pi.status
fi

Celsius temperature isn't intuitive to me, so I tweaked this script like:

Added after line 27:
tempf=/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp | awk -F "[=\']" '{print($2 * 1.8)+32}'

(after the equal you need a back-tick, and at the very end of the line as well, the comment system is interpreting them as code)

Then in lines 35, 38, and 41, I changed temp to tempf and the "C" to "F"

@planetmike do you know of a way to detect if the system uses °F or °C ? I can code that in to be automatic based on that particular system pref.
Planning to submit this script as a PR to pihole.

The /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp tool returns the temperature in C. My snippet of code is just doing the math to generate the F equivalent. I don't know if the PiHole system is able tor return info at the command line. I don't see the ability to read the status of pihole temperature at the command line.
