LightSensor Class

Definition

Represents an ambient-light sensor that provides the ambient-light reading as a LUX value.

Examples

For an example implementation, see the light sensor sample.

Remarks

The following example demonstrates how a UWP app built with XAML and C# uses the GetDefault method to establish a connection to a light sensor. If no integrated light sensor is found, the method will return a null value.

_sensor = LightSensor.GetDefault();

The following example demonstrates how a UWP app built with XAML registers a ReadingChanged event handler.

private void ScenarioEnable(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (_sensor != null)
    {
        // Establish the report interval
        _sensor.ReportInterval = _desiredReportInterval;

        Window.Current.VisibilityChanged += new WindowVisibilityChangedEventHandler(VisibilityChanged);
        _sensor.ReadingChanged += new TypedEventHandler<LightSensor, LightSensorReadingChangedEventArgs>(ReadingChanged);

        ScenarioEnableButton.IsEnabled = false;
        ScenarioDisableButton.IsEnabled = true;
    }
    else
    {
        rootPage.NotifyUser("No light sensor found", NotifyType.StatusMessage);
    }
}

The following example shows the ReadingChanged event handler.

async private void ReadingChanged(object sender, LightSensorReadingChangedEventArgs e)
{
    await Dispatcher.RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
    {
        LightSensorReading reading = e.Reading;
        ScenarioOutput_LUX.Text = String.Format("{0,5:0.00}", reading.IlluminanceInLux);
    });
}

Properties

DeviceId

Gets the device identifier.

MaxBatchSize

Gets the maximum number of events that can be batched by the sensor.

MinimumReportInterval

Gets the minimum report interval supported by the sensor.

ReportInterval

Gets or sets the current report interval for the ambient light sensor.

ReportLatency

Gets or sets the delay between batches of sensor information.

ReportThreshold

Gets the LightSensorDataThreshold for the light sensor.

Methods

FromIdAsync(String)

Asynchronously obtains the sensor from its identifier.

GetCurrentReading()

Gets the current ambient-light sensor reading.

GetDefault()

Returns the default ambient-light sensor.

GetDeviceSelector()

Gets the device selector.

Events

ReadingChanged

Occurs each time the ambient-light sensor reports a new sensor reading.
