Provides access to a hardware device's accelerometer, barometer, device motion, gyroscope, light sensor, magnetometer, and pedometer. # API documentation - [Documentation for the latest stable release](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/sensors/) - [Documentation for the main branch](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/unversioned/sdk/sensors/) # Installation in managed Expo projects For [managed](https://docs.expo.dev/archive/managed-vs-bare/) Expo projects, please follow the installation instructions in the [API documentation for the latest stable release](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/sensors/). # Installation in bare React Native projects For bare React Native projects, you must ensure that you have [installed and configured the `expo` package](https://docs.expo.dev/bare/installing-expo-modules/) before continuing. ### Add the package to your npm dependencies ``` npx expo install expo-sensors ``` ### Configure for Android No additional set up necessary for basic usage. **Note:** Starting in Android 12 (API level 31), the system has a 200Hz limit for each sensor updates. If you need an update interval of greater than 200Hz, you should add `` to **AndroidManifest.xml**. ### Configure for iOS Run `npx pod-install` after installing the npm package. **Note:** to access DeviceMotion stats on iOS, the `NSMotionUsageDescription` key must be present in your `Info.plist`. The included config plugin adds this key with a default message. To customize the message — or disable the permission entirely — configure the plugin in your `app.json`/`app.config.js`: ```json { "expo": { "plugins": [ [ "expo-sensors", { "motionPermission": "Allow $(PRODUCT_NAME) to access your device motion." } ] ] } } ``` # Contributing Contributions are very welcome! Please refer to guidelines described in the [contributing guide](https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
