# HostSensor A HostSensor object is one whose value is received from the host over IPMI (or some other mechanism). These sensors create dbus objects in the following namespace: /xyz/openbmc_projects/extsensors/{namespace}/{sensorname} You can update them by setting the Value in Sensor.Value as a set or update property dbus call. # SensorManager There is a SensorManager object whose job is to hold all the sensors. # PluggableSensor The PluggableSensor is an object that receives a reader and writer and is therefore meant to be used for a variety of sensor types that aren't HostSensors.
