How to convert “sensor” names to a /sys path?

Programs such as sensor list sensors by name, such as package ID 0 and core 0. However, /etc/fancontrol uses things like /sys/device/.... How do I figure out the path from the name?

Take a look in /etc/sensors3.conf. This is where sensors will label and convert many of the values in /sys/devices/platform/* to what you see in the sensors output. You may also be able to find custom entries on the internet for your motherboard, and could even create your own if you know how.
For instance, my board is nct6791-isa-0290 and there is a default entry for "nct6791-*" already in /etc/sensors.conf. After searching around, I found several versions of other configs for my motherboard out there, like this thread that discusses how it was generated. http://www.spinics.net/lists/lm-sensors/msg42249.html

On my system,sensorsshows one calledPackage id 0. I looked in/etc/sensors3.confbut I do not see anything like that -- not even a partial match. Underpsensor, I see the same name. If I right-click on it and look at details, it describes it aslmsensor coretemp-isa-0000, but again I do not see anything obvious in the.conffile. Is there another place to look for definitions? Thanks.

What you see in coretemp is hard coded into the driver. github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/hwmon/coretemp.c

Thanks, this led me to the answer. For example,/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1has various filestemp*_*-- and the*_labelfor each is the label used bysensorsandpsensor. For example, on my systemtemp1_labelisPhysical id 0,temp2_labelisCore 0, and so on. So I can read the_labelfile and that tells me the corresponding/sys/device/...to use.

/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1 has various files temp*_* -- and the *_label for each is the label used by sensors and psensor. For example, on my system temp1_label is Physical id 0, temp2_label is Core 0, and so on. So I can read the _label file and that tells me the corresponding /sys/device/... to use.– b00n
