Real-time metrics
CPU and GPU temperature, usage, power, clock, fan and pump RPM, RAM usage, and the on-screen clock — streamed by a lightweight Python daemon.

The cooler LCD that was supposed to be Windows-only.
A native Linux driver for CPU-cooler displays built on the USB HID 5131:2007 controller — compatible with Vevor YC-01-SS-002, HT and similar rebrands. No Windows. No Wine. Just hidraw.

// what it does
Reads your sensors, drives the screen — natively.
Zero Windows
No vendor app, no Wine, no virtual machine. The driver talks directly to the cooler display over hidraw.
Boots itself
Designed to work with a udev rule and a systemd service example from the GitHub repository.
// install
Four clean steps. Done.
# 1 — clone the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/frederstlaurent/cooler-lcd-linux.git
$ cd cooler-lcd-linux
# 2 — safer Python environment
$ python3 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install hidapi psutil pynvml
$ sudo apt install libhidapi-hidraw0
# 3 — confirm the device is there
$ lsusb | grep 5131
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 5131:2007
# 4 — non-root hidraw access, then run
$ sudo cp udev/99-cooler-lcd.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
$ python3 vevor_lcd_linux.py
Connected. Streaming sensors.01 / clone
Get the driver from the GitHub repository.
02 / deps
Use a Python virtual environment instead of installing packages globally.
03 / detect
Look for 5131:2007 in lsusb.
04 / run
Run manually or enable the systemd service from the repo.
// how it works
No framebuffer. Just HID output reports.
USB HID reports
The screen has its own firmware. The host streams compact HID output reports instead of sending full images.
Sensor packing
Sensor values are encoded into small byte fields that the firmware reassembles and displays.
Interoperability-first
Reverse-engineered for Linux interoperability. The project contains no vendor code and documents the protocol separately.
// security & seo
Static, fast, and easy to lock down.
No backend required
This landing page needs no database, no login, no cookies, and no form handling.
Clean public package
The public site package includes only web files: HTML, CSS, JS, manifest, icons, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and Open Graph image.
SEO-ready
Canonical URL, Open Graph tags, Twitter card tags, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, schema.org microdata, and a technical declaration page are included.
