Environment Provider

The Environment Provider gives environment sensor values like temperature or pressure.

Configuration

  • Type The type of sensor to read.

    Value Sensor Type

    Temperature

    Temperature sensor

    Pressure

    Pressure sensor

    Light

    Light sensor

    Humidity

    Humidity sensor

    Proximity

    Proximity sensor

    Offbody

    Offbody detector

    Darkness

    Light sensor with Threshold

  • Temperature Unit
    Set the temperature unit in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin.

  • Value Offset
    If the sensor has a deviation compared to a precise value, an offset can be set here.
    E.g. if the pressure gives 1009 hPa an the correct value is 998, the offset is 11.

  • Darkness Threshold The Darkness threshold in SI Lux, below this value it it considered to be dark. 200 is a good default value.

  • Ignore Sleep
    True to continue data acquisition during device sleep, false to stop acquisition while the device is sleeping.
    Default is false.

Query

  • Status
