dsh-thermal-monitor

When you are deep in a coding session on DSH Web, the last thing you want is to switch windows just to glance at your CPU or GPU temperature. dsh-thermal-monitor puts a small badge on the left sidebar, colour-coded green, orange, or red by threshold, so the thermal state is always one glance away without leaving your workspace.

Clicking the badge expands a full dashboard in the middle column, with sensors grouped by CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and motherboard, each reading refreshed every two seconds. Under the hood a lightweight PowerShell collector process samples hardware and feeds results through the DSH Host API to the browser. The plugin first tries a trimmed-down LibreHardwareMonitor for the most complete sensor coverage (per-core CPU, DIMMs, NVMe, fans); if the UAC prompt is denied or the library is missing, it automatically falls back to nvidia-smi and ACPI thermal zones so the dashboard is never empty. A single "Re-elevate" button at the bottom lets you retry without restarting DSH, and polling pauses whenever the tab is hidden to keep things lean.

The plugin targets Windows 10/11 only and relies on the system PowerShell 5.1. The client side has zero Node dependencies and references only the platform-bundled React module. It is built for Windows developers who live in DSH Web and want at-a-glance thermal awareness without juggling a separate monitoring utility. If your machine runs Linux or macOS, or you already rely on tools like AIDA64 or HWiNFO, this is probably not the plugin for you.
