LibreHardwareService plugin for Rainmeter

Introduction

This plugin collects hardware sensors from LibreHardwareService, allowing skins to access all hardware sensors exposed by LibreHardwareMonitor, SMART status, and RTSS framerate and frametime.

Requirements

• LibreHardwareService
• Visual C++ Redistributable 2022
• CMake
• vcpkg
• Visual Studio Community 2022
• LibHardwareService

Usage

Copy LibreHardwareService.dll to %APPDATA%/Rainmeter/Plugins and setup measures like the examples below.

Building

The library LibHardwareService is searched by findpackage in a parent directory or inside extern. Scripts for building can be found in cmake directory.

./cmake/build.ps1

SMART SATA status, returns one of the following strings:

• "Pre-fail" if the smart Prefail bit is set;
• "End-of-Life" if the smart Advisory bit is set;
• "Warning" if smart attributes 0x05, 0xC5, or 0xC6 have raw values above 10
• "OK" if none of above is detected
