SSD temps via Libre Hardware monitor

Question

This code brings average CPU temps via powershell script but can't find callouts to SSD or HDD temps how can i find callout documentations?

   
cls
$dll = "LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll"

Unblock-File -LiteralPath $dll
Add-Type -LiteralPath $dll
$monitor = [LibreHardwareMonitor.Hardware.Computer]::new()
$monitor.IsCPUEnabled = $true

$monitor.Open()
[int]$temp = foreach ($sensor in $monitor.Hardware.Sensors) {
    if ($sensor.SensorType -eq 'Temperature' -and $sensor.Name -eq 'Core Average'){
        $sensor.Value
        break
    }
}
$monitor.Close()
write-host "$temp"

reason im using Libre cos its only option to make scripts via cli, if u know other hardware monitor api's that can work with powershell i would appriciate it

As seen in the LibreHardwareMonitor GitHub documentation, you are missing the Storage initiators.

Not familiar with your code but should look similar to this:

cls
$dll = "LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll"

Unblock-File -LiteralPath $dll
Add-Type -LiteralPath $dll
$monitor = [LibreHardwareMonitor.Hardware.Computer]::new()
$monitor.IsCPUEnabled = $true
$monitor.IsStorageEnabled = $true

$monitor.Open()
[int]$temp = foreach ($sensor in $monitor.Hardware.Sensors) {
    if ($sensor.SensorType -eq 'Temperature' -and $sensor.Name -eq 'Core Average'){
        $sensor.Value
        break
    }
}
[int]$temp2 = foreach ($sensor in $monitor.Hardware.Sensors) {
    if ($sensor.SensorType -eq 'Temperature' -and $sensor.Name -eq 'Temperature'){
        $sensor.Value
        break
    }
}
$monitor.Close()
write-host "$temp"
write-host "$temp2"

Make sure to optimize the code, I have just added another loop for the SSD but just reworking the first one would be better. Also, SensorType and Name for the SSD may be different, I just used those because that is what i see in my Python app using LibreHardwareMonitor.dll.
