please make smart module for lm_sensors

[eric-a-hall]

lm_sensors has the ability to display sensor data from multiple sources. Unfortunately there is not a module that will display HD temperature data. Instead the lm_sensors documentation says that the smartmontools package should be used to gather and display this data. While the smart tools are certainly very nice as a separate package, it would be very helpful if the smart data was integrated with lm_sensors so that the HD temperature could be displayed alongside all of the other sensor data. For example there are numerous tools that have been compiled with the sensor libraries (EG, desktop applets, SNMP agents, etc), and it would be very helpful if HD temperature data was available through those channels alongside all of the other sensor readings, instead of isolated from them.

I am making the same request to the lm_sensors developers

Thanks

May be there comes a time with "some sort of integration API for smartd". A volunteer investigates the case at the time..

No reply from volunteer since April 2011.

I didnt found any kind of API in lm_sensors project and as far as i could see most (all?) information is gathered from kernel modules + /proc file system. Mentioned list is now dead, but i dont remember anything relevant in this thread, so closing this request.
