Are you updating from a previous version of the widget? I was unable to reproduce the missing thermometer.

Yes, but the previous version had the same problem, no thermometer.

On the first display of the widget (after start Mac), there was the thermometer during 1 second after is missing.

Movie of start widget

See you soon.

I updated to 4.1.5. After I installed Widget Beta.

So with 4.1.4 and the previous widget you were not able to see the thermometer?

I did a little more research with your Duo there should not be a Thermometer. What you are seeing is correct.

Yes. It was the same problem.

Like Chewwy mentioned, the Duo does not have a temperature sensor on board like the NV+,etc. It uses the HDD SMART temperature reading to control system fan speed.

So maybe if anything, a work-around/feature-enhancement could do something like 'if sys_temp=null && drive_temp=something; widget_temp=drive_temp' to get the same thing on the widget side of things...

So, is it possible to have the HDD temp on the Widget ? I changed the fan by an akasa fan and I want to survey the HDD or system temp.

I love the widget. Temp, storage, UPS, status, drives, etc. It's awesome.

Per Chirpa's suggested feature enhancement, I'd love if the widget for the duo would show drive temp at a glance. I frequently keep an eye on the drive temps so it's somewhat irritating to keep mousing over the drives when that purty temperature gauge could be put to good use!
