No Sensor Information Available using a Raspberry Pi

[PolynomialDivision]

Hi,
if I call

psutil.sensors_temperatures()

on a raspberry pi 3, the result is always

{}

Is there no information about CPU temperature?

[giampaolo]

Probably not due to /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon* directory structure not existing on raspberrypy (try to check)

[vzorglub]

The directory structure '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon*` does not exits on the raspberry pi.
The processor temperature can be obtained with:

cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp in mC

I don't have a Pi2 or Pi3 to test multicore

[giampaolo]

Re-opening. The goal should be to inspect /sys/class/thermal/ tree in case /sys/class/hwmon does not exist.

@giampaolo I tried looking into this a few days ago.
There was a discussion about this in lm-sensors: #30, that can be used as a reference.
Also:

• I could not find a way to obtain high and critical temperatures from /sys/class/thermal/
• Although raspberry-pi has 4 cores reported by psutil.cpu_count(), there is only a file for sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/

Other than that, I could give this a try :)

Please do. If there's no way to obtain high and critical just set them to None.
