Hi Juerg, sorry for the late response but I wasn't able to get to the interiors of the machine any sooner. The sensor is a SMSC SCH5524. Since it is not in the list of supported devices I assume that I cannot be used at the moment, right? Does that mean that the machine has no hardware monitoring sensors at all or are the simply not accessible by the user?
