--- title: Sensors description: A library that provides access to a device's accelerometer, barometer, motion, gyroscope, light, magnetometer, and pedometer. sourceCodeUrl: https://github.com/expo/expo/tree/sdk-51/packages/expo-sensors packageName: expo-sensors iconUrl: /static/images/packages/expo-sensors.png platforms: ["android", "ios", "web"] --- `expo-sensors` provide various APIs for accessing device sensors to measure motion, orientation, pressure, magnetic fields, ambient light, and step count. ## Installation ## API ```js // OR import { Accelerometer, Barometer, DeviceMotion, Gyroscope, LightSensor, Magnetometer, MagnetometerUncalibrated, Pedometer, } from 'expo-sensors'; ``` ## Permissions ### Android Starting in Android 12 (API level 31), the system has a 200Hz limit for each sensor updates. If you need an update interval of less than 200Hz, you must add the following permissions to your **app.json** inside the [`expo.android.permissions`](../config/app/#permissions) array. If you're not using Continuous Native Generation ([CNG](/workflow/continuous-native-generation/)) or you're using native **android** project manually, add `HIGH_SAMPLING_RATE_SENSORS` permission to your project's **android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml**: ```xml <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.HIGH_SAMPLING_RATE_SENSORS" /> ``` ## Available sensors For more information, see the documentation for the sensor you are interested in:
