I cant use Xfce4-sensors-plugin, as it is crashing shortly after ading to a panel for no apparent reason, however, I came across some dmesg output:

$ dmesg | grep sensors

$ xfce4-sensors -V
Xfce4 Sensors 1.0.0


I have no idea how to get further information on this, but I'm open for suggestions

Steps to reproduce:
1. add no items to a Panel, select Sensor plugin
2. close the configuration window
3. find no evidence it ever launched (except dmesg)
