Thinkfan goes into device folder instead of the hwmonX folde

[HTSykora]

Thinkfan goes into a device folder instead of the hwmonX folder (see the longest line in the below error message).

The phy0/hwmonX folder contains temp*_input file, but instead of going into there, thinkfan chooses to got into device. Is there a way to force thinkfan to use hwmonX?

The config file I'm using is the following:

I have the same problem, but in my case I am using the configuration that searches the devices by name (below example)

  - hwmon: /sys/class/hwmon
    name: k10temp
    indices: [1]

Have you find a solution about this problem?

Unfortunately not, currently I just comment out the problematic line, so I don't control for that temperature.
