The Sensor Service API is supported since WRT 1.1.
The Sensor Service API allows widgets to
access data provided by the physical sensors of a device. The data from a
given sensor is mapped to one or more sensor channels, which the API can listen
to. The available sensors depend on the device. The API is integrated into WRT through
the device object.
For an overview of the service and the API, see section Accessing data from the physical sensors of a device.
To use the Sensor Service API, your widget must
first create a service object for it
using the device.getServiceObject() method.
Use Service.Sensor to identify the service provider and ISensor to
identify the supported interface:
var so = device.getServiceObject("Service.Sensor", "ISensor");
This service object can then be used to access the services provided by the API:
The S60 5th Edition SDK emulator support XML based-simulation for a few sensors.
