+1, From both an implementor (ie.
https://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five/blob/master/docs/sensor.md, not in a
browser) and author perspective, this makes sense.

I'd even argue that all of these:

DeviceOrientationEvent (incl. compassneedscalibration)
DeviceMotionEvent
DeviceLightEvent
LightLevelEvent
DeviceProximityEvent
UserProximityEvent


Possibly even:
 - Battery
 - Temperature


...all belong in a single common "Device Sensory Events" spec.
