Looking to access pc/cpu temp value

[sharrisct25]

I have additional cooling available in my office where I run my server and other PCs that I can control via mControl but the problem is I do not have a reliable way to monitor if i need it or not. I would really like to be able to pull the local CPU or PC temperature somehow to use in a macro to run the cooling when needed and save me money.

I am also open to getting some sort of external wireless temp sensor for the room also if anybody knows of one that is good and works with mControl. I have mControl compatibility.

Any suggestions?

Maybe you can create your own wireless temp sensor based on the arduino platform.

Last month i make my own wireless temp/humi/light/motion sensors for my whole house, based on the arduino platform. I developed also a driver to communicate with mControl. Later this week i try to post some things about it on this forum.
