Sensors

You can use Butlr's GraphQL API to create, update, and retrieve sensor information.

A sensor can be associated with a floor, room, or zone. This flexibility allows for effective monitoring across different areas, from general traffic at floor entrances to pinpointing specific occupancy locations within a zone.

This page provides guidance on how to retrieve, create, and update sensor information within an organization.

Get all sensors

query allSensors {
  sensors {
      data {
          client_id
          floor_id
          room_id
          hive_id
          hive_serial
          sensor_id
          name
          mac_address
          mode
          model
          sensitivity
          center
          height
          orientation
          field_of_view
      }
  }
}
