It's likely worth capturing your use-case in the Sensors Use-cases doc: * https://w3c.github.io/sensors/usecases That specific use-case doesn't seem to be in there, so go ahead and file it here and feel free to cc: @tantek * https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues Thanks, Tantek _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
