Movement Sensor Component
This section documents the configuration attributes for each built-in movement sensor model. Use these pages when you are writing a JSON configuration, debugging a config validation error, or looking up the default for a specific attribute.
- For how to add and configure a movement sensor component on your machine, see Movement sensor.
- For the methods you call on a movement sensor in code, see the Movement sensor API reference.
- For movement sensor models outside the built-in set, browse the Viam registry. Each registry module’s configuration is documented in its own README on its registry page.
