CPU temperature #1

Hi there!

I love using your extension. It helps me monitor my CPU while using Crostini under ChromeOS. What would be awesome is to also display CPU temperature somewhere. Is this possible with the Chrome APIs?

TyeBHarrison commented 6 years ago

I was just looking through the code to see if I could make sense of it and make a pull request. Unfortunately, I have no experience with Chrome development. It's definitely possible to get temperature. The Cog Chrome extension does this. Unfortunately, Cog is very resource intensive, especially for a monitoring app.

It would be nice if we could click on the system-monitor icon to toggle between the CPU graph and the CPU temp. Or maybe the CPU graph could also/instead show temperature?

I'm using system-monitor and Cog for the exact same use case, Crostini.

@TyeBHarrison @Phaestion Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve checked the latest API, and it does support temperature, but only at chrome os. Added to the plan of next release

@pd4d10 that would be awesome, thank you!

Phaestion commented 6 years ago

@TyeBHarrison yeah, I also use Cog to see the temperature but then I have to have another window open and it is quite a heavy app - as you also remarked.

Hi, the latest v1.5.0 has been published to Chrome Web Store, which adds CPU temperatures if available.

Feel free to reopen it if there is any problem.
