Abstract
A device receives a sensor payload at a sensor service. The sensor payload includes a data field that comprises a first value that corresponds to a reading by a sensor device. The device sends the sensor payload to a broker process that is separate from the sensor service and that hosts plug-in logic. The device receives a sensor payload update from the broker process. The sensor payload update includes a second value for the data field that is different from the first value. The second value was determined by the plug-in logic. The device creates a modified sensor payload from the sensor payload, including updating the data field to comprise the second value. The device initiates an operating system action based on the modified sensor payload.
