+#sensor_type:
+#   One of "MAX6675", "MAX31855", "MAX31856", or "MAX31865".
+#spi_mode:
+#   The SPI mode to use when communicating with the chip. This

+#spi_speed:
+#   The SPI speed (in hz) to use when communicating with the chip.
+#   This parameter must be provided.

+#   The chip select line for the sensor chip. This parameter must be
+#   provided.
