Maybe instead:

Fix the following error:

  $ scripts/qmp/qom-set -s ~/qmp.sock sensor.temperature 20000
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "scripts/qmp/qom-set", line 66, in <module>
      print(srv.command('qom-set', path=path, property=prop, value=value))
    File "scripts/qmp/../../python/qemu/qmp.py", line 274, in command
      raise QMPResponseError(ret)
  qemu.qmp.QMPResponseError: Invalid parameter type for 'temperature',
