ERROR: could not insert 'asus_wmi_sensors': No such device

I have

MB: ASUS Prime X470-Pro
CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G (with RX Vega)
BIOS: Ver. 4207, of 12/07/2018

Running Ubuntu 18.04 with all updates
kernel: 5.0.0-27-generic

I followed the step, outlined in https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors

The module builds fine, but: modprobe asus-wmi-sensors
results in: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'asus_wmi_sensors': No such device

Unfortunately, I do not have a Windows to check as suggested.

What can I do to get it to work?

Regards

Jack

Your BIOS is too old and doesn't have WMI sensors, as per table https://github.com/electrified/asus-wmi-sensors/blob/master/README.md#supported-hardware update to BIOS 4602 or later and try again.

Thanks. I'll upgrade (but probably not before the end of the month) and report then Regards Jack

I update to version 5216 and (of course!) it works now. As I wrote down the old version I mistakenly wrote 4702 (>4602) rather than 4207. My eyes are bad:'( Thanks for answering and making this available. Regards Jack

No problem, glad you got it working.
