- Developers prototyping with phone sensors
- Worth noticing
- Listeners are read-only, and a broadcaster must approve an app before sensor events arrive.
Field notes
The broadcaster interface includes a waiting room, an approved-device list, and controls for sensor requests; listeners are explicitly read-only. Stream setup offers rates from 1 Hz through 60 Hz, while the page says push alerts can notify broadcasters about joins, reconnects, departures, and sensor changes. The developer instructions require HTTPS on both the app and phone.
