The output from "sensors" at the command line shows If the system has 10 different temperature sensor chips, you'll see ten times "temp1". Just to give you an example, this is the output from a line card on a high end switch with a large number of temperature sensors: root@fpc2:~# sensors | grep temp temp1: +34.5 C (low = +75.0 C, high = +80.0 C) ALARM (LOW) temp1: +38.0 C (low = +75.0 C, high = +80.0 C) ALARM (LOW) temp1: +24.5 C (low = +75.0 C, high = +80.0 C) ALARM (LOW) temp1: +25.5 C (low = +75.0 C, high = +80.0 C) ALARM (LOW) temp1: +34.5 C (low = +75.0 C, high = +80.0 C) ALARM (LOW) temp1: +34.5 C (low = +75.0 C, high = +80.0 C) ALARM (LOW) temp1: +28.8 C (low = +0.0 C) ALARM (HIGH, CRIT) temp1: +37.0 C (high = +90.0 C) temp2: +41.5 C (high = +110.0 C, crit = +110.0 C) temp3: +40.0 C (high = +127.0 C) temp4: +45.0 C (high = +100.0 C) temp5: +46.0 C (high = +100.0 C, crit = +127.0 C) temp6: FAULT (high = +100.0 C, crit = +90.0 C) temp7: FAULT (high = +100.0 C, crit = +90.0 C) temp1: +39.0 C (high = +90.0 C) temp2: +38.8 C (high = +110.0 C, crit = +110.0 C) temp3: +37.0 C (high = +127.0 C) temp4: +43.0 C (high = +100.0 C) temp5: +40.0 C (high = +100.0 C, crit = +127.0 C) temp6: FAULT (high = +100.0 C, crit = +90.0 C) temp7: FAULT (high = +100.0 C, crit = +90.0 C) temp1: +25.4 C (low = -10.0 C, high = +105.0 C) temp1: +39.8 C (low = -10.0 C, high = +75.0 C) temp1: +42.2 C (low = -10.0 C, high = +75.0 C) temp1: +43.1 C (low = -10.0 C, high = +75.0 C) temp1: +35.2 C (low = -10.0 C, high = +75.0 C) temp1: +29.5 C (low = -10.0 C, high = +75.0 C) temp1: +29.4 C (low = -10.0 C, high = +75.0 C) temp1: +30.4 C (low = +0.0 C, high = +75.0 C) temp1: +28.8 C (low = +0.0 C, high = +75.0 C) temp1: +27.7 C (low = -30.0 C, high = +110.0 C) temp1: +29.8 C (low = -30.0 C, high = +110.0 C) temp1: +33.8 C (low = -30.0 C, high = +110.0 C) temp1: +37.2 C (low = -30.0 C, high = +110.0 C) temp1: +28.9 C (low = -30.0 C, high = +110.0 C) temp1: +29.5 C (low = -30.0 C, high = +110.0 C) temp1: +32.3 C (low = -30.0 C, high = +110.0 C) temp1: +39.8 C (low = -30.0 C, high = +110.0 C) Nothing wrong with that (except that limits are not initialized correctly in some cases, and unused sensor inputs are not disabled). Your application needs to be able to distinguish between sensor chips, not just between sensor attribute names.
