# Qt Sensors QML Types

## QML Module API

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

      import QtSensors 5.0
      //  ...
          Component.onCompleted: {
              var types = QmlSensors.sensorTypes();
              console.log(types.join(", "));
          }

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

## 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
Altimeter | Element reports on altitude
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
DistanceSensor | Element reports the distance in cm from an object to the device
Gyroscope | Element reports on rotational acceleration around the X, Y and Z axes
HolsterSensor | Element reports on whether a device is holstered
IRProximitySensor | Element reports on infra-red reflectance values
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
TapSensor | Element reports tap and double tap events along 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.
