HardwareSupervisorRainmeterPlugin is a Rainmeter Plugin used to show HardwareSupervisor sensors data. It's based on PluginWMI made by E.Butusov [email protected] https://github.com/ebutusov/RainmeterPlugins/tree/master/PluginWMI

I was a lot frustrated to use an Administrator account to run all hardware monitoring software like Open Hardware Monitor or others. For security reasons it's quite normal today to use a normal account to achieve all day operations, so if you want to run hardware monitoring software you have to enter administrator password to continue. But with a windows service this step is no more necessary! To achieve this goal I've developed HardwareSupervisor: https://github.com/darkbrain-fc/HardwareSupervisor but some widgets were needed to show information collected by HardwareSupervisor. So HardwareSupervisorRainmeterPlugin was born.

HardwareSupervisorRainmeterPlugin uses Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) protocol to show data, so it's not necessary to use it with HardwareSupervisor, it can collect information from other WMI sources.

Simply double click the .rmskin file or drag&drop it into the rainmeter dashboard, then press install.

Because Rainmeter uses ini files to configure plugins and they are quite strange to modify, Configurator comes in hand to simplify ini file creation. It's quite basic, you can specify a WMI namespace (root\HardwareSupervisor by default), and you can write your own WMI query (SELECT * FROM Sensor for example) and then you can press Search. A simple list of keys and values will appear. Remove with Canc all rows that you don't want to see in HardwareSupervisorRainmeterPlugin, and edit Name entries to what you want. Then press Update and HardwareSupervisor.ini file will be generated into C:\Users\<Your account>\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\HardwareSupervisor directory and then you can refresh the skin. It was designed to work with HardwareSupervisor so probably it will not work correctly with outhers namespaces, anyway you can tweak HardwareSupervisor.ini file to accomplish your needs.
