    Sensor Description

    Step Counter

    Step counter sensor which counts the number of daily steps, resets at midnight

    Heartrate

    Heartrate sensor which measures the current heart rate in beats per minute
    Caution
    		 The Heartrate sensor measures the heart rate continuously which leads to excessive battery consumption. Please use it with care and only when necessary.
    It’s better to use the heart rate of the Health provider which acts as a system‑level broker between apps and sensors. It automatically chooses the lowest‑power sampling mode.
Important
 The Body Provider needs the body sensors permission to work.
