 	The temperature path to use, e.g. */sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input* instead of one in */sys/class/thermal/*.
+	This can also be an array of strings. In this case, waybar will check each item in the array and use the first valid one.
+	This is suitable if you want to share the same configuration file among different machines with different hardware configurations.
