I built a small service called zimaos-monitor for ZimaOS that publishes system metrics via MQTT with full Home Assistant auto-discovery.
It automatically exposes:
• CPU temp & power (Intel RAPL)
• RAM usage
• Disk usage (all mounts auto-detected)
• ZimaOS version as a native HA Update entity
No YAML needed — just point it to your MQTT broker and everything is discovered automatically.
Tested on ZimaBoard (should also work on ZimaBlade/ZimaCube, but I’d love feedback if you try it there).

Next week I’ll be uploading a video on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@PochoLabs) showing this in action — including how I’m using it with an ESP32 + display inside a retro AT case for a ZimaBoard 2.
Would love your feedback, and contributions are more than welcome!
