The Sensor
interface of the Sensor APIs is the base class for all the other sensor interfaces. This interface cannot be used directly. Instead it provides properties, event handlers, and methods accessed by interfaces that inherit from it.
This feature may be blocked by a Permissions Policy set on your server.
When initially created, the Sensor
object is idle, meaning it does not take measures. Once the start()
method is called, it prepares itself to read data and, once ready, the activate
event is sent and the sensor becomes activated. It then sends a reading
event each time new data is available.
In case of an error, the error
event is sent, reading stops, and the Sensor
object becomes idle again. The start()
method needs to be called again before it can read further data.
