Does it have a CPU package temperature sensor?

Where are the install instructions?

It has but not in public build, install instruction are simple donwload it and runn it (you need to fill in only your HA URL and token)

One last question, can it be run as a service that starts when windows starts?

yes you can simply create symlink to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and program starts on startup.

do you want me to send you dev ´version with CPU temp ?

Joke. He did your readme PR.

Sensor suggestions:

  • % memory use
  • CPU load
  • GPU temperature

Little Sneak Peak :smiley:
GPU Will be harder since there can be more than One,

you need to download the zipfile end extract it

Ok… But from the first link you posted, where do you get to that page.
I’m not used to GitHub, but I can’t find the second page from the first page.

I thought you downloaded from here:

Ok, :ok_hand: but last link is right to release download page

I click YES but nothing happens:

Untitled

It should link you to:
Download .NET 6.0 Runtime (microsoft.com)

It does not. But thanks for the link.

Installed but I still get the same error.
