This contrasts with the subject's mention of Bookworm, so I am assuming you
mean Bookworm (that is, Debian 12)

$ cat /etc/debian_version
12.0
Using sudo or "su -":
smartctl -a /dev/sda|grep Tem
194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 066 039 000 Old_age Always
- 34 (Min/Max 11/61)
works, though it doesn't respond normally to "| cut -fx" where x is a field
number. Values don't seem to be tab-separated, so some jiggery-pokery may be
required if you're recording the output somewhere.
I still have hddtemp installed having upgraded from Buster > Bullseye > Bookworm
$ aptitude why hddtemp
i mate-desktop-environment Suggests mate-desktop-environment-extras (
>= 1.26)
p mate-desktop-environment-extras Recommends mate-sensors-applet (>= 1.26)
p mate-sensors-applet Recommends hddtemp
and indeed:
$ sudo hddtemp /dev/sda
/dev/sda: TOSHIBA THNSNH128GMCT: 35°C
...but this "recommends" presumably won't be available in a fresh Bookworm
installation, since
$ apt policy hddtemp
hddtemp:
Installed: 0.3-beta15-54
Candidate: 0.3-beta15-54
Version table:
*** 0.3-beta15-54 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$
Hope that helps.
Best wishes,
Gareth
