Description

Describe the bug
I having some wrong CPU usages, most in games.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Open a game, open the taskmanager, compare two CPU usages. One shows +-50%, and the display shows +-3%.
Using the sensors from Python on config.yaml: HW_SENSORS: PYTHON

Environment:

  • Smart screen model: Hardware Revision A (Turing Smart Screen 3.5")
  • Revision of this project: main
  • OS with version: Windows 11
  • Python version: 3.11.5
  • Hardware AMD Ryzen 5800/RTX 3060

Research direction

Start with the Python sensor selected by HW_SENSORS: PYTHON in config.yaml, then compare its CPU reading with Windows Task Manager while a game is running. Done means the CPU percentage shown on the smart screen matches the expected usage, without changing the memory reading.
