How to start sensors-applet

I installed lm-sensors hddtemp sensors-applet. I am able to get output from sensors. But cant find how I can start sensors-applet. I didnt find Hardware Sensors (or anything that looks like sensors-applet) under Right Click Panel > Add to Panel

I am using Ubuntu 11.04

I'm guessing your using unity under ubuntu 11.04 in which case unity doesn't support the sensors applet. A lot of people seem to be suggesting trying the indicator applets that you can find in synaptic but I haven't any experience myself.

EDIT: I found indicator-sensors that provides the functionality you need.
