No, watchdogs features are not supported by lm-sensors. You should take a look in drivers/char/watchdog in the Linux kernel source tree, there are 5 watchdog drivers for Winbond chips. None of them seem to support the W83627THF device at the moment, but I guess that it shouldn't be too hard to extend one of these drivers based on the information in the W83627THF datasheet. -- Jean Delvare
