Sensors in detected list - noitarud - 03-17-2025
Are the sensors in my device not functional because of lacking support or they are not actually what they are detected to be? The 33171016 / BU52053NVX hall effect sensor is disused.
b. Do all the sensors have an experiment associated with them? Someone is sure to find an application if they were accessible. Step, guestures, pedometer, motion accel, tilt, RMD, AMD(relative/absolute motion detector)… the custom experiment option does not even list these (maybe the generic/preexisting techniques to activate+read will be sufficient? Even for the hall?).
c. there are 44 temperature sensors inside the device ("Temp. Monitor" app), not that practical (thermal cycles could reduce device lifespan), but, if usb devices add then we could have temp too. We just need to be alerted if any get attached (my usb sticks dont add).

You could find a list of the directly supported sensors at https://phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Phyphox_file_format#Input_module:_sensor and the next phyphox version 1.2.0 on Android (the current test version) will include a “custom” variant that should let you access all sensors that are listed in the Device Info.
Our selection is rather historical with a few criteria like scientific applicability, properly defined units, or general availability. Anyone is free to add own custom experiments and we ourselves list a few at https://phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Category:User_experiments (the TVOC experiment is an example of the new custom sensor). That's what https://phyphox.org/editor is for – and https://phyphox.org/wiki/index.php/Phyphox_file_format for those quicker with a text editor…
