There is no lm_sensors in esxi 5.5.
The sensors data could be taken from smbiosDump command (just parse some unparsed data). The only way to inject it inside vsphere/web client is a custom CIM provider.
I found a pycim middleware allowing to create python based CIM providers but can't figure out how to get it working.
I made simple python CIM provider, registered it to sfcb but got this in log:
2016-02-01T23:11:52Z sfcbd: The CIM vmw_smbsensors Provider is disabled
Stil can't get it enabled There is no documentation at all
