Devices
An overview of devices, where they can be found, and the various types.
Device Types
The following table provides an overview of all the device types that can be found throughout our API.
Structure
A device is either a sensor or a Cloud Connector and has a defined structure in our APIs. They can be fetched either by listing the devices in a project or looking up a single device, both of which will return device(s) with the structure as shown in the snippet below.
Wireless Sensors Details
The following provides details of all the types of wireless sensors found throughout our APIs. Each type may contain one- or several different product numbers.
Temperature Sensor
Reports temperature in Celsius.
Device Type:
temperature
The following event types are available for this device type.
Proximity Sensor
Reports objects in close proximity.
Device Type:
proximity
Variations:
The following event types are available for this device type.
Touch Sensor
Reports when the sensor is touched.
Device Type:
touch
Variations:
The following event types are available for this device type.
Humidity Sensor
Reports temperature in Celsius and percentage humidity.
Device Type:
humidity
Variations:
The following event types are available for this device type.
Counting Proximity Sensor
Reports the total number of proximity state changes on each heartbeat. The counter does not reset on heartbeats and will keep getting incremented. The presence of an object and the absence of an object are counted individually, and will both increment the counter with 1. A counting proximity sensor also reports normal touch events if touched and held for a few seconds. This allows the sensor to be identified through Touch to Identify.
Device Type:
proximityCounter
Variations:
The following event types are available for this device type.
Counting Touch Sensor
Reports the total number of touches on each heartbeat. The counter does not reset on heartbeats and will keep getting incremented. A counting touch sensor also reports normal touch events if touched and held for a few seconds. This allows the sensor to be identified through Touch to Identify.
Device Type:
touchCounter
The following event types are available for this device type.
Water Detector Sensor
Reports when water is detected on the surface of the sensor, as well as when it's no longer detected.
Device Type:

CO2 Sensor
Reports CO2, Barometric Pressure, Relative Humidity, and Temperature.
Device Type:
co2
Variations:
The following event types are available for this device type.
Motion Sensor
Reports motion in the sensor's field of view.
Device Type:
motion
Variations:
