HASS.Agent App

2.2.0 - Sep 14, 2025

Breaking changes to GPU Temperature sensor

Due to security concerns, we were forced to remove Libre Hardware Monitor library that allowed HASS.Agent to access hardware information. The breaking change in this is that starting with this release, the GPU Temperature Sensor is non-functioning. It has been left present for backward compatibility reasons, however it will always return 0.

Please see the awesome writeup by @DarkAutumn for more details #43(comment). Please see GPU Temperature for how you can get GPU temperature information using standalone version of Libre Hardware Monitor.
