WaterTools

This is a set of PowerShell functions I wrote to help me manage and keep track of my water consumption. You will need to install the pwshSpectreConsole module for the graphing function to work.

I demonstrated this during the Lightning Demos during the 2026 PowerShell Summit.

Show-SpectreSystemStatus

The PowerShell function in this gist is designed to display the system status of a Windows machine. It provides information about the operating system, hardware, and other relevant details. The function can be used to quickly gather and display important system information in a user-friendly format. This function requires PowerShell 7 and a Windows platform.

Usage

Save all files to the same directory. Dot source the ps1 file.

. .\Show-SystemStatus.ps1

#TODO : Turn this into a module
Class SavedLocation {
    [Int32]$Index = $global:LocationList.count + 1
    [string]$Path = $($PWD.Path)
    [DateTime]$Date = $(Get-Date)
    [string]$Provider = (Get-Location).Provider.Name
}

this is a variation of what you could do comparing text files
using Compare-Object. The only difference really is how this
script formats the output.

This should be considered a PROOF-OF-CONCEPT
