Add fan speed information

[andrefcorreia]

Hey...very nice app. I started using today. I was using psensor, but with elementaryOs juno he cant display info in wingpanel (dont know why).
If possible, can you add fan speed monitor (rpm). Very useful info.
Thanks.

Would be cool to add that info, but right now I don't really know how :) will look into it.
Thanks.

Ok. Thank you.

Getting into fan speeds and cpu temps is - in the linux world - IMHO - a big mess. Be careful mate... BEWARE... I'm running a gigabyte z370 and as for now, there are no sensor drivers available for fan speed. If that script would be enabled by default, it wouldn't find anything on my machine...
That being said, I think it'd be nice to configure a list of custom/additional metrics that will be displayed by this awesome wingpanel project. Per metric, we could start with:
label, description, command, unit
If that is implemented, I think we could close 3 issues (CPU temp, fan speed and display bits instead of bytes) and we'd be way more open closed with out implementation. Since the average user most likely won't know about lm-sensors and acpi -t we could think about adding a little list of custom metric presets.
