SensorType
The Type of the Sensor, e.g. Voltage or Temperature Sensor. If the
type is set to Other, then the OtherSensorType Description can be
used to further identify the type, or if the Sensor has numeric
readings, then the type of the Sensor can be implicitly determined by
the Units. A description of the different Sensor types is as follows: A
Temperature Sensor measures the environmental temperature.
Voltage and Current Sensors measure electrical voltage and current
readings. A Tachometer measures speed/revolutions of a Device. For
example, a Fan Device can have an associated Tachometer which
measures its speed. A Counter is a general purpose Sensor that
measures some numerical property of a Device. A Counter value can
be cleared, but it never decreases. A Switch Sensor has states like
Open/Close, On/Off, or Up/Down. A Lock has states of Locked/
Unlocked. Humidity, Smoke Detection and Air Flow Sensors measure
the equivalent environmental characteristics. A Presence Sensor
detects the presence of a PhysicalElement. A Power Consumption
Sensor measures the instantaneous power consumed by a managed
element. A Power Production Sensor measures the instantaneous
power produced by a managed element such as a power supply or a
voltage regulator. A pressure sensor is used to report pressure.
Intrusion sensor reports an intrusion of an enclosure regardless
whether it was authorized or not.
