Hi everyone! I’m exploring a DIY project where I want to read motherboard temperature and fan speed data in Windows to display in a custom lightweight dashboard. My inspiration came from this article on ESP32 PC Temperature Monitoring via Serial:
I’ve also checked tools like Open Hardware Monitor and LibreHardwareMonitor for system data exposure, and reviewed a Python-based example on GitHub that streams hardware stats over MQTT. My question is: has anyone built a lightweight client or poller to read motherboard sensors in Windows directly (rather than running full monitoring suites)? Any pointers to tools or APIs that work reliably on modern boards would be appreciated.
