| 2 | |
| 3 | A HostSensor object is one whose value is received from the host over IPMI (or |
| 4 | some other mechanism). These sensors create dbus objects in the following |
| 5 | namespace: |
| 6 | /xyz/openbmc_projects/extsensors/{namespace}/{sensorname} |
| 7 | |
| 8 | You can update them by setting the Value in Sensor.Value as a set or update |
| 9 | property dbus call. |

| 11 | # SensorManager |
| 12 | |
| 13 | There is a SensorManager object whose job is to hold all the sensors. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | # PluggableSensor |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The PluggableSensor is an object that receives a reader and writer and is |
| 18 | therefore meant to be used for a variety of sensor types that aren't |
| 19 | HostSensors. |
