HWInfo integration into Home Assistant, via MQTT
- Thread starter mhwlng
- Start date
It works perfect, thank you very much
excellent tool
I allow myself to suggest another function, which (at least to me) would work very well.
I put in context:
I have a computer, in which I have kodi installed, if I boot from the shell, I have tried this tool on it and it turns out that when starting up... the HWinfo starts before fipha, then it shows an error.
the perfect function would be that there was a value to search for sensors again... for example "retry = 5000 ms"
that is, if fipha runs and does not detect HWINFO sensors in 5 seconds, try searching again and so on while fipha is running
That function would be perfect for me... and I suppose for many of those who use it
Thank you very much in advance

Is it possible to read a value from MQTT and then send it back to hwinfo so that it could be shown in an overlay?
That is outside the scope of this application, sorry...
Also, HWiNFO doesn't accept data back from other applications. The only way to feed data into HWiNFO is using the Custom User Sensor:
www.hwinfo.com
Custom user sensors in HWiNFO
HWiNFO since version 6.10 introduces a new feature - ability to display custom user sensors in the sensors window. This feature allows users with basic programming skills to show any sensor values. This might be useful in case of custom-made devices, or sensor values not implemented in HWiNFO by...

Apologies for the necro...
Do I have to manually add all sensor configurations to HWINFO.INC?
Asking because I successfully installed and configured the tool, however in MQTT Explorer and Home Assistant I can only see two values ("frame rate" and "temperature ssd").
Another thing I tried was replacing hwinfo.inc with another one which I have in Rainmeter. MQTT explorer populated with quite a few more entries, however most of them were differently formatted, and obviously they didn't work correctly.
If so, there's a lot of work ahead of me, because I am monitoring two different machines (soon three). But it is what it is, I just wanted to make sure there's no other way before starting a long string of edits.
