A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
I want to be able to toggle between day and night mode.
Describe the solution you'd like

!/bin/bash
current_temp=$(_code here that returns current temperature from redshift_)
echo "Current temperature: $current_temp"
if [[ $current_temp -eq 1000 ]]; then
redshift -P -O 6500
notify-send "Redshift: Daytime mode (6500K)"
else
redshift -P -O 1000
notify-send "Redshift: Nighttime mode (1000K)"
fi

I was trying to write the exact same script and found that
redshift -pshows among other things a screen temperature, but it doesn't seem to be the current value.gmayerw commentedon Aug 14, 2023

I found a workaround on Linux: you can do
xrandr --current --verbose | grep Gammato get the gamma settings of the monitor, it is affected by redshift.gmayerw commentedon Aug 14, 2023
