What is LaMetric CLI?
The LaMetric CLI provides a professional interface for interacting with LaMetric smart hardware directly from the terminal. As a versatile addition to your Openclaw Skills library, it allows developers to automate physical notifications, control device settings, and stream custom content. Whether you are monitoring server health or managing your daily schedule, this skill transforms your smart display into a programmable dashboard that integrates seamlessly into your existing development environment.
LaMetric CLI Use Cases
- Automating CI/CD build notifications to show success or failure icons on your desk.
- Displaying real-time system metrics like CPU usage or disk space using sparkline charts.
- Managing Pomodoro sessions or countdown timers for better focus.
- Streaming custom GIF animations or pixel art directly to the display from scripts.
- Sending critical server alerts with audible alarms to ensure immediate attention.
How LaMetric CLI Works
- The user initiates a command via the CLI, specifying the action such as a notification, app control, or brightness adjustment.
- The CLI tool authenticates with the target LaMetric device using a pre-configured API key.
- Commands are transmitted over the local network via HTTP requests to the device's local API.
- For advanced workflows, data can be piped from other terminal applications (like ffmpeg) directly into the device's display stream.
- The device renders the visual data and plays optional notification sounds as instructed by the Openclaw Skills logic.
LaMetric CLI Setup
Install the tool using Homebrew or the Go package manager:
# Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
brew install dedene/tap/lametric
# Or Go install
go install github.com/dedene/lametric-cli/cmd/lametric@latest
Configure your device by running the setup wizard or setting environment variables:
# Run interactive setup
lametric setup
# Or configure manually
export LAMETRIC_API_KEY=your-api-key
export LAMETRIC_DEVICE=192.168.1.100
LaMetric CLI Data Schema & Taxonomy
