I recently installed Netdata on a Raspberry Pi 4, but didn’t see any CPU temperature. After installing the `lm-sensors` package I do see the CPU temperature, but the sensor is labeled as _deprecated_.

Is there some other way to do it that isn’t deprecated? Or is it fine to use the `lm-sensors` package?

Hi, `lm-sensors` is no longer needed in the nightly version, but is still required in the stable version (latest is v1.47.4).

Thanks for the reply. So the sensor collection will switch from `lm-sensors` to something else — once the change currently in nightly will hit stable?

Yes. The new version uses the [sysfs interface](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface).

@ilyam8 what netdata version introduced this change? Can you link to MR ? I couldn’t find a mention of it in the releases
