How to access mobile device barometer sensor when using "Location.Altitude" function in PowerApps?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I want to add altitude on equipment in a factory. Using a PowerApp to scan equipment, I also want to add the altitude of the equipment when doing the scanning from the mobile device. This works (in theory), but i do not have control of the value I get from the "Location.Altitude" propertie. Since this is indoor, barometer sensor is probably the most reliant for getting the correct altitude (as long as calibration of ground floor is done first). But how can I ask the devices sensor data from the barometer sensor, and not getting the less accurate GPS data for altitude?

 

Any suggestions?
