# Sensors

## What are {{variable.Sensors_CAP}}?
Sensors are small devices that detect and measure specific elements within the environment where they're placed. They record environmental data and let you use it to track changes and trigger actions. 

*For example, a temperature sensor can measure the temperature a meeting room at regular intervals and trigger air conditoning if the temperature ever goes above a certain threshold.*

## How {{variable.Sensors_CAP}} work
 
Nexudus currently integrates with [{{variable.D12S}}](/v3/docs/d12s){target="_blank"} {{variable.sensors}}. The integration lets you connect your {{variable.D12S}} sensors to Nexudus and automatically create them {{variable.OnTheAdminPanel}}. Our technical team is working hard to expand the the number of sensor integrations available to you. 
 
You can also manually add your own sensors if you already have sensors. Just remember that manually adding sensors requires a fair bit of technical expertise. If in doubt, opt for a sensor integration or {{variable.ContactSupport}} for more information.

## FAQ

### Can I use any sensor in Nexudus? 
Nexudus currently supports D12S sensors natively. Our team is working towards integrating with more sensor providers. You can still manually add sensors. 

### How often is sensor data updated? 
{{variable.D12S}} sensors data is synced every 15 minutes or less.
