Cordova Sensors Plugin

The sensors are capable of providing raw data with high precision and accuracy, and are useful if you want to monitor three-dimensional device movement or positioning, or you want to monitor changes in the ambient environment near a device. For example, a game might track readings from a device's gravity sensor to infer complex user gestures and motions, such as tilt, shake, rotation, or swing. Likewise, a weather application might use a device's temperature sensor and humidity sensor to calculate and report the dewpoint, or a travel application might use the geomagnetic field sensor and accelerometer to report a compass bearing.

At this moment this plugin is implemented only for Android!

Install

$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/fabiorogeriosj/cordova-plugin-sensors.git

Methods

sensors.enableSensor("TYPE_SENSOR")

Enable sensor.

sensors.disableSensor()

Disable sensor.

sensors.getState(successCallback, errorCallback)

Get values sensor.

Using in Ionic

  APP.controller("indexController", function ($scope, $interval){

      function onSuccess(values) {
          $scope.state = values[0];
      };
      
      function onError(error) {
          throw error;
      };

      document.addEventListener("deviceready", function () {
        
        sensors.enableSensor("PROXIMITY");

        $interval(function(){
          sensors.getState(onSuccess, onError);
        }, 100);


      }, false);

  });

Type sensors

PROXIMITY - Measures the proximity of an object in cm relative to the view screen of a device.

ACCELEROMETER - Measures the acceleration force in m/s2 that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, and z), including the force of gravity.

GRAVITY - Measures the force of gravity in m/s2 that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, z).

GYROSCOPE - Measures a device's rate of rotation in rad/s around each of the three physical axes (x, y, and z).

GYROSCOPE_UNCALIBRATED - Rate of rotation (without drift compensation) around the x axis.

LINEAR_ACCELERATION - Measures the acceleration force in m/s2 that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, and z), excluding the force of gravity.

ROTATION_VECTOR - Measures the orientation of a device by providing the three elements of the device's rotation vector.

STEP_COUNTER - Number of steps taken by the user since the last reboot while the sensor was activated.

GAME_ROTATION_VECTOR - Rotation vector component along the x axis (x * sin(θ/2)).

GEOMAGNETIC_ROTATION_VECTOR - Rotation vector component along the x axis (x * sin(θ/2)).

MAGNETIC_FIELD - Measures the ambient geomagnetic field for all three physical axes (x, y, z) in μT.

MAGNETIC_FIELD_UNCALIBRATED - Geomagnetic field strength (without hard iron calibration) along the x axis.

ORIENTATION - Measures degrees of rotation that a device makes around all three physical axes (x, y, z).

AMBIENT_TEMPERATURE - Measures the ambient room temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). See note below.

LIGHT - Measures the ambient light level (illumination) in lx.

PRESSURE - Measures the ambient air pressure in hPa or mbar.

RELATIVE_HUMIDITY - Measures the relative ambient humidity in percent (%).

TEMPERATURE - Measures the temperature of the device in degrees Celsius (°C).
