Add Temperature Monitoring

[mohamed]

Hello,

Will you add temperature monitoring in the next windows 10 universal app?

Thanks

Windows 10 universal apps have the same limitations as Windows Phone 8.1 apps using WinRT API. The API itself does not expose any interface to let apps measure temperatures. WP8 based devices themselves -- based on Qualcomm SoCs -- do measure over a dozen of temperatures, and the Windows Phone kernel manages those temperatures in individual thermal zones, but sadly Microsoft didn't implement an API in WinRT to access the thermal zones I personally of course understand that there's a reason behind using a strong sandboxing environment, to assure the maximum security and stability of the system, but a read-only access to temperatures wouldn't hurt too much Same goes for clocks: Windows Phone 8.x and Windows 10 Mobile kernels can measure CPU and other clock speeds easily, but they don't expose those measurements to apps.

BTW, we've issued a feedback to Microsoft, asking for the implementation of a WinRT thermal management API, but I don't think it would be get done before next year.

Thanks for your reply. I hope they hear the feedback.

Bummer. clockspeeds and core temps would be cool to see. Unfortunately, they won't implement it. They are too busy dumbing down the user experience.

Is there any update on this?

Is there any update on this?

I'm afraid not. Windows 10 UWP still lacks the necessary APIs to measure clocks and temperatures.

That's really sad. I hope they at least have some plans to make this possible in the future.
