# 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 | The Accelerometer element reports on linear acceleration along the X, Y and Z axes.
Altimeter | The Altimeter element reports on altitude.
AmbientLightSensor | The AmbientLightSensor element repors on ambient lighting conditions.
AmbientTemperatureSensor | The AmbientTemperatureSensor element reports on the ambient temperature.
Compass | The Compass element reports on heading using magnetic north as a reference.
Gyroscope | The Gyroscope element reports on rotational acceleration around the X, Y and Z axes.
HolsterSensor | The HolsterSensor element reports on whether a device is holstered.
IRProximitySensor | The IRProximitySensor element reports on infra-red reflectance values.
LightSensor | The LightSensor element reports on light levels using LUX.
Magnetometer | The Magnetometer element reports on magnetic field strength along the Z, Y and Z axes.
OrientationSensor | The OrientationSensor element reports device orientation.
PressureSensor | The PressureSensor element reports on atmospheric pressure values.
