Configuration is correct in the file itself, although the exact variable is different; instead of the original thread (from 2016) which says to use "HWiNFOHostId=x", the Rainformer configuration file uses a different variable, one for each measure, e.g. "HWiNFO-GPU2-Usage-HostId=x" - I guess that's due to version changes since 8 years ago.
This is not correct, you are conflating two different things and getting them mixed up. The HWiNFO docs are correct (and they are not obsolete). The Rainformer code you showed (which I can't find in my code) are
variables, not
measure options.

The code is in the Rainformer Suite, which I pulled today from DA.
The file is here (relevant directory structuse displayed): Rainmeter\Skins\RainformerHWi\@Resources\HWiNFO.inc

At any rate, I tried adding the original thread's variable as well, it does nothing.
To summarize:
- HWInfo SMV does show the data from the remote machine.
- I have configured all measures in Rainformer according to manual's instructions.
- Local values are being pulled correctly.
- Configuration looks correct.
- Remote machine Values are <i>not</i> displayed in the skins themselves. Local machine values are displayed correctly.
Furthermore, I have downloaded and installed ModernGadgets skin pack, and the issue is consistent across those skin packs.
I think I am just out of luck...
No, no, no, you are not out of luck!
ModernGadgets doesn't support remote monitoring either, so that is not a valid comparison.
The problem is the
skins, not HWiNFO or the plugin. As I was trying to say above, that section of code you posted does not appear in the Rainformer suite. Maybe it somehow gets added if you have a remote host, but it does NOT appear in the code I have for the latest 3.1 version. But either way, the
skins themselves are not configured to handle remote hosts.
For example, in the GPU2 skin, look at this measure:
Code: Select all
[GpuCoreUsage]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=HWiNFO.dll
HWiNFOSensorId=#HWiNFO-Gpu2-Usage-SensorId#
HWiNFOSensorInstance=#HWiNFO-Gpu2Usage-SensorInstance#
HWiNFOEntryId=#HWiNFO-Gpu2-Usage-EntryId#
HWiNFOType=CurrentValue
MinValue=0
MaxValue=100
Disabled=(#GpuUsage#=0)
As described in the HWiNFO docs, you can see the
HWiNFOHostId option is missing. Therefore this measure is ONLY going to look at your local GPU sensors.
If you want this skin to see remote HWiNFO sensors, you need to add the line
HWiNFOHostId=<your remote host id> to every HWiNFO plugin measure in the skin. Or, if you want to use that code snippet, you need to set the remote host Id (if it is not zero) then add the line
HWiNFOHostId=#HWiNFO-TEMPS-GPU2-HostId# to all the measures.
That is all that is needed.
