Hi,

i've remarked that it could have different behaviours between Computers and Devices.

do you know if there is a way to test it ?

Thanks

Hi @GeekAlf_Pro

The easiest way to do this is to check for the presence of an accelerometer or an altitude reading using formula such as this:

(Acceleration.X > 0 Or Location.Altitude > 0)

A computer will generally return 0, whereas a mobile device will return a positive reading.
