I don't think so. You're not that far from a first result.

You hacked the driver in the correct way, except that you did define a
new "kind" for the w83637hf. There's nothing wrong with that, but this
means that you would also have to hack the library so that it knows
about that new kind.

A much quicker way would be to not define that new kind, i.e. treat the
637 exactly as if it was a 627. If the chips are compatible enough, this
could give interesting results (although I can't guarantee anything,
I've not read the data sheet for more than 2 minutes).

So I'd suggest that you hack the driver again, and only add the new
device ID this time. Assign the same kind as for a 627hf, and you should
start getting results from sensors. You can undo your changes to
sensors.conf, BTW.

Also, even if sensors doesn't work, you can "cat" the files in /proc and
see if values make sense (don't forget that values may need some
arithmetics applied to them as shown in sensors.conf).

Let us know how it goes.
