# HostSensor
A HostSensor object is one whose value is received from the host over IPMI (or
some other mechanism). These sensors create dbus objects in the following
namespace:
/xyz/openbmc_projects/extsensors/{namespace}/{sensorname}
You can update them by setting the Value in Sensor.Value as a set or update
property dbus call.
# SensorManager
There is a SensorManager object whose job is to hold all the sensors.
# PluggableSensor
The PluggableSensor is an object that receives a reader and writer and is
therefore meant to be used for a variety of sensor types that aren't
HostSensors.
