| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| **type**  | [SensorType](/hybrid/start/api/sensors/wisej.hybrid.shared.sensors.sensortype.md) | The type of sensor. |

**Returns:** [Boolean](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean). True if the given SensorType is supported.

### ![](/files/CCV9PPenlC1YZvNh1I6R)Start(type)

Starts monitoring the given [SensorType](/hybrid/start/api/sensors/wisej.hybrid.shared.sensors.sensortype.md) on the hybrid device.

| Parameter | Type                                                                              | Description         |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| **type**  | [SensorType](/hybrid/start/api/sensors/wisej.hybrid.shared.sensors.sensortype.md) | The type of sensor. |

### ![](/files/CCV9PPenlC1YZvNh1I6R)Stop(type)

Stops monitoring the given [SensorType](/hybrid/start/api/sensors/wisej.hybrid.shared.sensors.sensortype.md) on the hybrid device.

| Parameter | Type                                                                              | Description         |
