Why not just use the temp sensors in a hard drive? Because it requires the drive powered on. Every time you read the temp sensor via SMART, it spins up the drive.
I only have a TEMPer Gold usb stick. I think it was version 3.5 or something. It didn't work with the userspace python libraries I linked below until I bumped the minor version in their code.
This module divides the temp data from the by 100. There appear to be some devices that divide by 256. I don't have any of those usb sticks. Happy to accept pull requests if someone wants to patch support for multiple devices.
It looks like this usb stick is marketed towards Windows so you can double tap NumLock/CapsLock and write the temperature via keyboard input. Hence this device registers as a keyboard device. I won't be using that and don't care, so I filtered out the keyboard device in the should_load function.
Without the below, you will have to install the module every time you reboot your machine. If you want it to load the module on start up:
