async await - Using Python's asyncio when calling a method from a pythonnet C# dll?

Question

I'm using LibreHardwareMonitor (A fork of OpenHardwareMonitor) to read info about my computer to build an open-source monitoring system. It works great but when calling the C# Update() method on various hardware, it hangs and asyncio would be perfect for this situation, as all calls to Update() could be sent at the same time then the code could resume when all the results are in, instead of waiting for one at a time.

I checked in the LibreHardwareMonitor library code and they don't seem to use async however. I don't know if this is relevant and if pythonnet can ignore that.

Simple sample code:

import clr
clr.AddReference("LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll")
from LibreHardwareMonitor import Hardware

handle = Hardware.Computer()
handle.Open()

# Get updates about hardware sensors (motherboard, cpu, etc)
handle.Hardware[0].Update()  # Hangs
handle.Hardware[1].Update()  # Hangs
handle.Hardware[2].Update()  # Hangs

Is it possible somehow to send these calls to Update() all at the same time with await? I tried and it doesn't work as Update() returns void.
