ThermalTrace

Record temperature, power and load in the Windows background to compare long-term cooling trends. The Zectrix edition turns 30-day daily trends and smoothed post-cleaning trends into cards, delivered through Zectrix Cloud Open API and displayed on NOTE4’s sync cycle.

What it can do

Record temperature, power and load in the Windows background to compare long-term cooling trends. The Zectrix edition turns 30-day daily trends and smoothed post-cleaning trends into cards, delivered through Zectrix Cloud Open API and displayed on NOTE4’s sync cycle.

Compare temperature rise and usage duration by load level to track cooling trends
Up to two 400×300 monochrome cards: 30-day daily trends and trends since cleaning
Daily scheduled cloud delivery; the device displays updates after polling, not as a live temperature monitor
Aggregated data and HTML reports stay local; the API key is stored using Windows DPAPI

Install & use

Let AI help you install

Enter a key and give the task to your local AI. AI handles installation, previews and device discovery.

1

Connect NOTE and hand over to AI

Just an API Key; AI can find the MAC

AI uses the key to list your devices; you only need to confirm which one to use.

Open the cloud platform to get a key ↗
How do I get it now?

Sign in to the cloud platform by QR code → use Scan in the mini program's Me tab → open Open API on the website → create an API Key.

A shorter path is planned: Get API in the mini program menu. This entry is not live yet.

Codex on your computer can install dependencies and run programs locally.

After copying, start a new chat in Codex on your computer and paste the task.

Specify device (optional)

Leave it blank if unknown. AI can retrieve it from the official device list, without searching the device menus.

The Key is only saved in a local connection file and is not included in the AI task.

Computer, device and project requirements

This project supports NOTE4 · Monochrome.

  • Monochrome NOTE4 · Windows 10/11 x64 · Zectrix edition · Zectrix Cloud API Key and device MAC · Administrator privileges at runtime
See the task for AI

The task includes project information, standard API documentation, the connection filename and device selection. The API Key stays in a local file and is never copied into the task.

After installation, check this

Confirm that the device displays the expected ThermalTrace screen and continues to update correctly.

AI generates a preview first, then confirms the target device and first update with you. It reports installation location, verification results and how to start again. Continue in the same conversation if anything goes wrong.

Monochrome NOTE4 · Windows 10/11 x64 · Zectrix edition · Zectrix Cloud API Key and device MAC · Administrator privileges at runtime

  1. Download the Zectrix edition

    Choose ThermalTrace-0.3.1-Zectrix-Setup.exe from GitHub Releases. The standard ThermalTrace-0.3.1-Setup.exe has no e-paper push, and Source code archives are not installers. Installation needs no elevation; reading CPU temperature requires administrator privileges at runtime.

  2. Start sampling and check the data

    The app starts in the system tray; double-click its icon to open the main window. Check sensors and sampling first, then set a cleaning baseline date if needed. Aggregated slices are saved every 30 minutes by default. Intel is the main tested platform; AMD compatibility needs checking.

  3. Configure cloud delivery

    Enter your own Zectrix Cloud API Key and device MAC in the Zectrix edition, and check image slots and the daily schedule. Preview and send the cards, then wait for NOTE4’s sync cycle to confirm display. The second cleaning-trend card is sent only when applicable. No local-push SDK is required.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a desktop app classified as a Cloud API plugin?

Classification follows the delivery path. ThermalTrace samples and renders on the PC, but uploads cards to Zectrix Cloud for NOTE4 to poll. It is not a direct LAN SDK application or device firmware.

What data leaves the computer?

Card delivery uploads rendered PNGs, not raw CSV or sensor details. The API key is stored locally with Windows DPAPI. The optional ambient-weather feature separately uses public-IP geolocation and weather requests; it can be disabled or configured manually.

What do the photo and checks cover?

The author submitted this photo of ThermalTrace trends on NOTE4; its original timestamp is retained. We reviewed the public source, v0.3.1 installer links and cloud delivery path, but did not install on Windows or independently test sensors and device delivery. Project code is MIT-licensed; third-party licenses remain applicable.
