I'd like to programmatically read CPU temperature + any other interesting sensor data from my MacBook Pro (2009 model).

How do I do it?

I noticed a previous post pointing to this open source software, but it seems to be incompatible with my model.

I notice that there are numerous apps which are able to do it, so it must be possible!

Did you end up finding a solution? This is exactly what I am looking to do right now. – Daniel Vogelnest
No unfortunately not. Please let me know if you do! – Prembo
I had similar results, when I look for IOHWSensor on a new mac pro -- the entire system tree is displayed and there are no IOHWSensor lines displayed. – Yablargo
Still no luck with this? – Ben Quan

I found this opensource that maybe help you on the idea of how to do it (it's newer than your reference). https://github.com/lavoiesl/osx-cpu-temp
