winget install --id=effeect.LibreHardwareMonitorCLI -e Displays Windows hardware sensor data in a terminal and can optionally transmit sensor readings to a user-configured InfluxDB instance. Some sensors require the CLI to run with administrator privileges.
This is a Python CLI project that wraps around the LibreHardwareMonitor.dll files in order to allow CLI use cases.
You can download the latest release (LibreMonitor.exe) from the Releases page.
> Run as Administrator for full sensor visibility — some sensors (e.g. Intel CPU temperatures) are only accessible with elevated privileges.
By design, you will not need to enter in any arguements in order to use the cli. However if you want to make some specific customisations before runtime or add influx support. Please read on :
--no-table : If this is set, the output will be a simple console output, otherwise it will use Rich to display a table of the sensor data--time : This is the time interval between each dataThe following options can be used to filter the sensors displayed. If none are set, all sensors will be shown. This is useful as certain CPUs may have hundreads of sensors (eg. a high end server CPU).
--CPU : If this is set, only CPU related sensors will be shown--GPU : If this is set, only GPU related sensors will be shown--RAM : If this is set, only RAM related sensors will be shown--MOTHERBOARD : If this is set, only Mainboard related sensors will be shown--CONTROLLER : If this is set, only Controller related sensors will be shown--NETWORK : If this is set, only Network related sensors will be shown--STORAGE : If this is set, only Storage related sensors will be shownTested on a InfluxDB2 container but the following solution should work in most environments, enter in the following :
--influx-url "" : Token for the setup, can be an admin token but works with normal tokens fine--org "" : Organisation for the setup--bucket "" : Bucket for the setupIf you are not interested in any of the table stuff and just want to grab specific things from the Library in other projects and be done. Simply use the libre_hardware_monitor_reporter.py file in the libre_cli folder and initialize the class like so :
from libre_cli.libre_hardware_monitor_reporter import LibreHardwareMonitorReporter
# Initialise the reporter, note that you can optionally pass in filter parameters here as well, but I would leave it at the default
LibreHardwareMonitorReport = LibreHardwareMonitorReporter()
sensor_data = LibreHardwareMonitorReport.get_sensor_data()
Pre-built binaries are published automatically on each versioned release via GitHub Actions. If you want to build locally:
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Download the latest LibreHardwareMonitor release and extract its DLLs into libre_cli/.
Run PyInstaller using the included spec file:
python -m PyInstaller LibreMonitor.spec
The spec file automatically picks up all .dll files present in libre_cli/, so no manual --add-binary flags are needed. The output will be at dist/LibreMonitor.exe.
