Hi. well, that's a good point, indeed! But window.addEventListener('deviceorientation', ... ) // depends on window. navigator.battery.level // depends on navigator window.addEventListener('deviceproximity', ... ) // depends on window navigator.getUserMedia( ... ) // depends on navigator window.addEventListener('devicelight', ... ) // depends on window navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( ... ) // depends on navigator We got the same problem. Maybe the global `Sensors` is indeed the best option.
