I'm looking to be able to read out as much sensor information (thermals, fan speeds, etc.) as possible for scheduled logging on my Windows machine.

I found CPUID's HWMonitor which reads all of the information that I want, but it doesn't seem to have a command-line interface and because I want to be able to automate it, I need a CLI.

I'm not opposed to doing some programming of my own if necessary, but I was hoping to find a tool ready-made for this purpose - if anyone knows of one or a Windows command/protocol that programs like HWMonitor use under the hood, I would be very appreciative.

wmic path Win32_Fan get
wmic path Win32_TemperatureProbe get
wmic path win32_VoltageProbe get

Note on my system these are not available because HP didn't make them available.

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cimwin32prov/win32-fan

Edit

To get SMART status

wmic /namespace:\\root\wmi PATH MSStorageDriver_FailurePredictStatus get /format:List

SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info and show hard disk temperatures.

Source: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

Speedfan can generate csv logfiles (and can also send emails).

Open SpeedFan and click Configure click on each item in the Temperatures, Fans, and Voltages tabs and click the Logged button for the ones that you want logged (or clear it if you don’t). Then click the Log tab and click the check-box if you want logging, or clear it if you don’t.
