Miner fleet monitor — a borderless overlay HUD that sits on top of whatever you're doing, with alerts and history.

pip install plumhud
plumhud

plumhud check    poll once, print, exit — no window needed
plumhud where    where your config and history live

What v4 changed, and why

Nothing is invented any more. v3 filled missing readings with random.randint(), so a miner that answered without a hashrate displayed a believable number you had no way to identify as fake. A field the miner did not send is now None, renders as a dash, and is stored as NULL. "We did not measure it" and "it is zero" are different facts and the display says which.

Alert rules require a real measurement. Removing the fabrication exposed that the rules had never been written to survive a missing value — they would have raised on the first None. A rule now stays quiet when the number never arrived, and still fires on genuine problems.

Your config stopped moving. v3 wrote plumhud_config.json relative to the working directory, so launching from two folders gave you two fleets — and dropped a file containing your Discord webhook and Telegram token wherever you happened to be, including repositories. Everything now lives in one per-user directory (plumhud where), created owner-only. A v3 config found in the current directory is adopted automatically.

One poller, two faces. Polling moved to moonbeam-miner, which the terminal tool already used. That removed the private asyncio event loop, the aiohttp session and its fallback path with no loss of speed — and means the CLI and the HUD can never disagree about what a miner said.

Zero required dependencies beyond the shared core. aiohttp and requests are gone; webhooks post through the standard library. Charts and the logo are optional extras:

pip install "plumhud[charts]"

What it does

Overlay HUD in four display modes (ring, bar, spark, grid) with an opacity slider and five skins. A five-tab command center for miners, analytics, alerts, skin and settings. Alert rules for offline, hashrate below, temperature above and reject spikes, delivered to Discord or Telegram with a per-rule cooldown. Every poll is written to a local SQLite database with 30-day retention.

Talks to ESP-Miner and AxeOS devices — NerdMiner, Bitaxe and relatives — on http://<ip>/api/system/info. Use moonbeam scan to find them.

Requirements

Python 3.8+, and Tk for the window (bundled with Python on Windows and macOS; apt install python3-tk on Debian and Ubuntu). plumhud check needs no display at all.
