They have the same temperature format(s) but AFAICT these
have specific meanings:
smartmontools has a drive database that tells the story.

190 is the Air flow temperature
231 reports temperature on some drives but on others this is the
   "SSD life left"

To avoid erroneous interpretation I kept with just 194.

I guess we could add more heuristics if we want. Maybe not
as the first step.
