Hello everyone! I wanted to share my recent success in integrating HASS.Agent with Open Hardware Monitor. It’s been a fantastic journey, and I’m thrilled to see how smoothly everything works together now.
I started by exploring the requirements, which included Open Hardware Monitor, HASS.Agent, and Windows 11. The process involved setting up both tools and ensuring they communicated effectively via MQTT. I found the PowerShell scripts provided by the community incredibly helpful, especially for reading CPU and GPU sensors.
One challenge I faced was getting the sensors to update reliably. After some trial and error, I realized the importance of running the list-sensors.ps1 script to identify the correct sensor names. This step was crucial for ensuring the data flowed correctly into Home Assistant.
I also configured HASS.Agent to run as a service, which allowed it to operate even when I wasn’t logged in. This was a game-changer for maintaining continuous monitoring without manual intervention.
For anyone looking to replicate this setup, I highly recommend starting with the basic scripts and gradually expanding. The community resources and documentation were invaluable, and I couldn’t have done it without them.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to these projects and shared their knowledge. It’s amazing how a little scripting and community support can transform your smart home setup!
Best regards,
