# LibreHardwareMonitor
Libre Hardware Monitor, a fork of Open Hardware Monitor, is free software that can monitor the temperature sensors, fan speeds, voltages, load and clock speeds of your computer. 

## What's included?
| Name | Build Status | Latest Version |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **LibreHardwareMonitor** <br /> WinForms based application that presents all data in a graphical interface | [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/yk60la8da96kfjos?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/LibreHardwareMonitor/librehardwaremonitor) | 1.0.0.0 |

## What can you do?
With the help of LibreHardwareMonitor you can read information from devices such as:
- Motherboards
- Intel and AMD processors
- NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards
- HDD, SSD and NVMe hard drives
- Network cards

## How can I help improve this tool?
The LibreHardwareMonitor team welcomes feedback and contributions!<br/>
You can check if it works properly on your motherboard. For many manufacturers, the way of reading data differs a bit, so if you notice any inaccuracies, please send us a pull request. If you have any suggestions or improvements, don't hesitate to create an issue.

## Do I have to compile the program myself?
You can download the latest builds [here](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/LibreHardwareMonitor/librehardwaremonitor/build/artifacts).

## What's the easiest way to start?
**LibreHardwareMonitor application:**
1. Download the repository and compile 'LibreHardwareMonitor'.
2. You can start the application immediately.

**Sample code:**
1. Download the repository and compile 'LibreHardwareMonitorLib'.
2. Add references to 'LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll' and 'HidSharp.dll' in your project.
3. In your main file, add namespace 'using LibreHardwareMonitor.Hardware;'
4. Now you can read most of the data from your devices.

```c#
/*
 * Example for .NET Framework
 */
public class UpdateVisitor : IVisitor
{
    public void VisitComputer(IComputer computer)
    {
        computer.Traverse(this);
    }
    public void VisitHardware(IHardware hardware)
    {
        hardware.Update();
        foreach (IHardware subHardware in hardware.SubHardware) subHardware.Accept(this);
    }
    public void VisitSensor(ISensor sensor) { }
    public void VisitParameter(IParameter parameter) { }
}

public void Monitor()
{
    Computer computer = new Computer
    {
        IsCpuEnabled = true,
        IsGpuEnabled = true,
        IsMemoryEnabled = true,
        IsMotherboardEnabled = true,
        IsControllerEnabled = true,
        IsNetworkEnabled = true,
        IsStorageEnabled = true
	};

    computer.Open();
    computer.Accept(new UpdateVisitor());

    foreach (IHardware hardware in computer.Hardware)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hardware: {0}", hardware.Name);

        foreach(ISensor sensor in hardware.Sensors)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\tSensor: {0}, value: {1}", sensor.Name, sensor.Value);
        }
    }
}
```
