This should help:

SMARTCTL(8):

       -n POWERMODE, --nocheck=POWERMODE
              Specifieds if smartctl should exit before performing any  checks
              when  the  device is in a low-power mode. It may be used to pre-
              vent a disk from being spun-up by smartctl. The  power  mode  is
              ignored by default. The allowed values of POWERMODE are:


Something like:

# smartctl -n standby -a /dev/ad0 | grep -i temp
