# Qt Sensors QML Types

## QML Sensors Module API

QmlSensors is a module API that provides information about currently available sensors types, identifiers, and the default sensors.

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

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

## QML Sensor Types

These types represent specific types of sensors.

Note that most properties come from the abstract Sensor element.

Accelerometer | Element reports on linear acceleration along the X, Y and Z axes
AmbientLightSensor | Element repors on ambient lighting conditions
AmbientTemperatureSensor | Element reports on the ambient temperature
Compass | Element reports on heading using magnetic north as a reference
Gyroscope | Element reports on rotational acceleration around the X, Y and Z axes
HumiditySensor | Element reports on humidity
LightSensor | Element reports on light levels using LUX
Magnetometer | Element reports on magnetic field strength along the Z, Y and Z axes
OrientationSensor | Element reports device orientation
PressureSensor | Element reports on atmospheric pressure values
ProximitySensor | Element reports on object proximity
RotationSensor | Element reports on device rotation around the X, Y and Z axes
TiltSensor | Element reports tilt events along the X and Y axes

## QML Reading Types

The data from a sensor comes via a reading class.

AccelerometerReading | Element holds the most recent Accelerometer reading
AmbientLightReading | Element holds the most AmbientLightSensor reading
AmbientTemperatureReading | Element holds the most recent temperature reading
CompassReading | Element holds the most recent Compass reading
GyroscopeReading | Element holds the most recent Gyroscope reading
HumidityReading | Element holds the most recent HumiditySensor reading
LightReading | Element holds the most recent LightSensor reading
MagnetometerReading | Element holds the most recent Magnetometer reading
OrientationReading | Element holds the most recent OrientationSensor reading
PressureReading | Element holds the most recent PressureSensor reading
ProximityReading | Element holds the most recent ProximitySensor reading
RotationReading | Element holds the most recent RotationSensor reading
TiltReading | Element holds the most recent TiltSensor reading
