OpenHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor integration

[Cyruz143]

Is your feature request related to a problem? If so, please describe the problem.
In theory this should hopefully resolve a few issues.

• Dynamic CPU clock speed under Windows
• CPU temperature under Windows
• Hopefully allow modern AMD gpu stats, fixing https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python/issues/49

Describe the feature / solution to your problem you'd like
Integration of the Open Hardware Monitor (https://github.com/openhardwaremonitor/openhardwaremonitor) libs to replace various other limited 3rd party Python libs for Windows.

Describe alternatives you've considered / and or tested
I'm sure you were already aware of this, just thought it might save people making multiple issues requesting features/reporting bugs that are now known limitations of the currently used libs.

Additional considerations
I hope this fits your license seeing as OHM is open source, not sure if you want to include a .dll compiled by someone else.

Very good idea indeed! I was also thinking about HWiNFO SDK but it is not open-source, so i like Open Hardware Monitor better I plan to work on it soon!

Your choice might still be better. OHM is looking fairly quiet on Github, lots of issues not many actual commits going on...

I found https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor a fork of Open Hardware Monitor still maintained, will give it a try

Hi guys, I've started the development of the LibreHardwareMonitor integration for Windows platform. This will not be a quick task though.

I already found 3 ways:

1. the preferred way: call the LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll library directly from Python like https://github.com/gerfra/Temperature-Hardware-LibreHardwareMonitorLib
2. use the WMI callbacks of the LibreHardwareMonitor.exe program like https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor/blob/master/LibreHardwareMonitor/TestScripts/basicwmi.py
3. use the RestAPI of the LibreHardwareMonitor.exe program like https://github.com/Gokender/minotorr

Hello @Cyruz143 The first beta release that supports LibreHardwareMonitor has been released! https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python/releases/tag/2.2.0-beta.1 If you have time to test it, i would be happy to have your feedback!

Awesome work! Will give it a run this weekend and let you know.

Ran it this weekend, no real issues to report, worked as expected! I did see the CPU effective clock being incorrect but that's been picked up in another ticket already with a suggested fix.
