Type: The sensor type string from the OHM GUI (Clocks, Temperatures, Load, etc).Hardware: The hardware name string from the OHM GUI (Intel Core i7-2600K, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, etc).To use this, copy the appropriate plugin to your Rainmeter plugins directory and create a new skin to use it. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit but I've run both DLL's using 32 and 64 bit versions of Rainmeter so I have some hope that they'll work with both apps. I've built 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the plugin and tested them as much as I can. You can also use SVN to download the OHM source and built it with Visual Studio Express 2010 C# (I've never used the program before in my life and it was trivial to do). Once OHM releases an official version with WMI support, this will no longer be needed. The OpenHardwareMonitor SVN directory contains a version that was built from source on which contains the WMI server needed to communicate with the plugin. I have built a version of OHM and included in the zip file.
This plugin requires a version of OHM built after JAN-2011. These are the three strings that appear in the sensor hierarchy when you run OHM. You specify the sensor to use by supplying three strings to the configuration: the hardware name, the sensor type, and the sensor name.
you must be running OHM for this to work). This plugin communicates with OHM using a WMI interface to read values (i.e. Open Hardware Monitor (OHM) Rainmeter Plugin
