@lknik: > This sounds reasonable, as MQ already provides this functionality. Yes, my suggestion was based on this information already being available to the platform without permission. This assumption needs to be revisited if the MQ is rejected due to privacy concerns. > What will remain is the frequency of changes, which will depend on the hardware, implementation and the environment. Yup. The MQ and LightLevel sensor should match precisely here. The coarser AmbientLight would do a thing of its own. > Understood. So permissions for high-level readout (as we discussed OOB). Is it possible to disable this functionality at all, or suggest browser vendors to allow this (using settings)? Yeah, you could imagine a privacy aware browser would implement only the `LightLevel` API but the not `AmbientLightSensor`. > And at some point, the raw readout could be phased out? Doubtful but possible. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tobie Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/ambient-light/issues/8#issuecomment-208283415 using your GitHub account
