Sensor stuck at 100+c #68

hey! first of all, thanks for the app, it is lovely!

I'm seeing this weird behavior: when I turn my M2 on, it sits at around 50c and as I use it for coding it increases or decreases throughout the day.

If I run CPU-intensive tasks (e.g. running our test suite, using all cores), a specific sensor named TF06 goes way up and never goes down. it is stuck at 107 for hours now...

I can put the laptop to sleep and wake it up, the sensor never changes and the graph looks like this

all other sensors seem to be okay, just this one is acting weird. Using Stats app CPU and GPU temperature are all ok so I have no idea what this sensor is (or if I should be worried)

I have the same issue. tf06 is stuck at 101C

Unfortunately, theirs is no documentation on the name and purpose of the sensors.

This is why I added a section in the app’s Preferences allowing you to ignore specific sensors.

If you have one reporting bad values or getting stuck at a specific temperature, simply uncheck it from the list.
