Is it possible to use an old smartphone as a PC resource monitor?

Question

Android

I have an old smartphone and want to connect it by wire to a PC and display the temperature and the percentage of load on the CPU, RAM, and video cards on it, but when I searched, I did not find any instructions or applications for this. Maybe someone knows how to organize this and what would it work for both windows and linux?

Answer 1

I wonder how you searched for applications? Thousands of them.
For example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com....
You will find the rest there
(I myself have not used it, I can’t advise specific)

Answer 2

you can think about the option when the application is running on the desktop and displays the temperature on the second desktop
and the android shows this second desktop through something like a teamviewer or vnc or someone else
or a web server on android, the simplest web application for output and a desktop utility that sends data
or vice versa, a web server on the desktop, a utility in the same place and a native android application that itself accesses the server and displays the answer
, there are more options, but you need to solder a little there
