Added the Dell Sensor Plugin #14

Closed mgrimace closed 4 years ago

mgrimace commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I added the Dell Sensor Plugin from https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC and performed an OC snapshot in ProperTree. This allows the system temp and fan sensors to be read. Additionally, it allows the fan speed to be controlled manually with the Macs Fan Control app https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control.

Please double check the changes to config.plist in case I screwed anything up, but otherwise it's working on my end!

Hey thanks!

I totally missed this was added to VirtualSMC. I've added the needed kext to my build mess and merged it after testing. Seems to work great. Can't merge this pull request though, it conflicts. Maybe because the plug-in is builtin? I prefer adding the extra kext vs rolling my own VirtualSMC with things baked in. Thanks for letting me know though. Great to have more sensor data. Now I feel the need to dive back into the BIOS and see if the fan control can more fine grained than just the current options.

Added before and after screenshot, with old school HWMonitor, still works!

Before: before

After: after

Great! I wasn’t sure the best way to alert you to this. I’m still learning how to use GitHub so it might be something on my end. I’ll close the pull and I’m glad it’s working!!

Haha, same here. I'm also not a pro at git. I'm happy to be able to add it. I see the Dell sensors were added in 1.1.5 and I totally missed it despite reading the change log 😅 Thanks for taking the time to contribute!
