I've just installed "Hot" but I can't easily see which temp sensor I need to use to display the M2 chip temperature. There are many to choose from. Screenshot 2023-02-07 at 11 49 24

By default Hot will display the temperature of the sensor with the highest value.

Enabling or disabling specific sensors can be useful if a sensor is broken or reports a bad value for some reason.

But unless you experience such an issue, you can simply keep the default settings.
