Can this be used with hwmon?

Great piece of software!

I'm looking for a way to add temperature sensors to my motherboard directly (without arduino like middleware) so they are visible to hwmon just like other built-in sensors and I could use fancontrol to control some fans based on the new sensors data.

So, can I use onewire-over-uart for that?

I am afraid that you can't. To do that we need some kind of kernel driver that takes the UART. I am unaware of a clean way to do so.

A way I can imagine is to write a user-space hwmon kernel driver that takes values from a chardev / sysfs entry and relay that to the hwmon system.

For motherboard monitoring, you probably can find some I2C sensors and hook them up to the SMBus.
