This is my Cinnamon version of the Sensibo panel tool, and honestly it is the one I use most day-to-day.

What It Does

Cinnamon-Sensibo gives you quick control from the Cinnamon panel:

  • shows temperature and humidity from Sensibo
  • shows current AC on/off state
  • provides an on/off toggle directly in the applet menu
  • refreshes on a timer you can configure

No separate full app needed for basic climate checks.

Why A Cinnamon Version

I already had a Budgie implementation, but Cinnamon is where I spend more time, so I wanted the same fast workflow in the panel I actually use the most.

The applet is small and focused:

  • JavaScript applet UI (applet.js)
  • Python helper for Sensibo API calls (sensibo.py)
  • settings schema for refresh interval + credentials

Install

Clone the repo and copy the applet folder into your local Cinnamon applets directory:

git clone https://github.com/Vyrnexis/Cinnamon-Sensibo.git
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets
cp -r Cinnamon-Sensibo/sensibo@drunkenalcoholic ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/

Then restart Cinnamon (or log out/in), open Applets, and enable sensibo@drunkenalcoholic.

Configure

In applet settings, set:

  • API key from your Sensibo account
  • Pod UUID for your device
  • Refresh interval in seconds

Once those are set, the applet starts polling data and the switch controls AC state directly.

Good Fit For

  • Cinnamon desktop users with Sensibo hardware
  • users who want quick panel-level control
  • anyone who prefers a simple tool over a heavyweight dashboard

This one is built for practical daily use: check stats, toggle power, move on.
