Accessing Ambient Light Sensor on Microsoft Band

Question

There is an Ambient Light Sensor with Microsoft Band, and some apps in the Windows Store show the ALS value in Lux, But I can\'t find a way in the Band SDK to read the ALS Lux v

Answer 1

the Microsoft Band SDK (NuGet package v1.3.11121) now exposes the ambient light sensor.

if (bandClient.SensorManager.AmbientLight.IsSupported)
{
    bandClient.SensorManager.AmbientLight.ReadingChanged += (s, args) =>
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(bandClient.SensorManager.AmbientLight.Brightness);
    };
    await bandClient.SensorManager.AmbientLight.StartReadingsAsync();
    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
    await bandClient.SensorManager.AmbientLight.StopReadingsAsync();
}
