Qt Sensors QML Types

If the module is imported into a namespace, some additional methods become available.

import QtSensors 5.11
//  ...
    Component.onCompleted: {
        var types = QmlSensors.sensorTypes();
        console.log(types.join(", "));
    }

The documentation for the module API can be found in QmlSensors.

These types represent specific types of sensors.

Note that most properties come from the abstract Sensor element.

• Accelerometer: The Accelerometer element reports on linear acceleration along the X, Y and Z axes.

• Altimeter: The Altimeter element reports on altitude.

• AmbientLightSensor: The AmbientLightSensor element repors on ambient lighting conditions.

• AmbientTemperatureSensor: The AmbientTemperatureSensor element reports on the ambient temperature.

• Compass: The Compass element reports on heading using magnetic north as a reference.

• DistanceSensor: The DistanceSensor element reports the distance in cm from an object to the device.

• Gyroscope: The Gyroscope element reports on rotational acceleration around the X, Y and Z axes.

• HolsterSensor: The HolsterSensor element reports on whether a device is holstered.

• HumiditySensor: The HumiditySensor element reports on humidity.

• IRProximitySensor: The IRProximitySensor element reports on infra-red reflectance values.

• LidSensor: The LidSensor element reports on whether a device is closed.

• LightSensor: The LightSensor element reports on light levels using LUX.

• Magnetometer: The Magnetometer element reports on magnetic field strength along the Z, Y and Z axes.

• OrientationSensor: The OrientationSensor element reports device orientation.

• PressureSensor: The PressureSensor element reports on atmospheric pressure values.

• ProximitySensor: The ProximitySensor element reports on object proximity.

• RotationSensor: The RotationSensor element reports on device rotation around the X, Y and Z axes.

• TapSensor: The TapSensor element reports tap and double tap events along the X, Y and Z axes.

• TiltSensor: The TiltSensor element reports tilt events along the X and Y axes.

The data from a sensor comes via a reading class.

• AccelerometerReading: The AccelerometerReading element holds the most recent Accelerometer reading.

• AltimeterReading: The AltimeterReading element holds the most recent Altimeter reading.

• AmbientLightReading: The AmbientLightReading element holds the most AmbientLightSensor reading.

• AmbientTemperatureReading: The AmbientTemperatureReading element holds the most recent temperature reading.

• CompassReading: The CompassReading element holds the most recent Compass reading.

• DistanceReading: The DistanceReading element holds the most recent DistanceSensor reading.

• GyroscopeReading: The GyroscopeReading element holds the most recent Gyroscope reading.

• HolsterReading: The HolsterReading element holds the most recent HolsterSensor reading.

• HumidityReading: The HumidityReading element holds the most recent HumiditySensor reading.

• IRProximityReading: The IRProximityReading element holds the most recent IR proximity reading.

• LidReading: The LidReading element holds the most recent LidSensor reading.

• LightReading: The LightReading element holds the most recent LightSensor reading.

• MagnetometerReading: The MagnetometerReading element holds the most recent Magnetometer reading.

• OrientationReading: The OrientationReading element holds the most recent OrientationSensor reading.

• PressureReading: The PressureReading element holds the most recent PressureSensor reading.

• ProximityReading: The ProximityReading element holds the most recent ProximitySensor reading.

• RotationReading: The RotationReading element holds the most recent RotationSensor reading.

• TapReading: The TapReading element holds the most recent TapSensor reading.

• TiltReading: The TiltReading element holds the most recent TiltSensor reading.
