from expo-sensors
provides access to the device barometer sensor to respond to changes in air pressure, which is measured in hectopascals (hPa
).

If you're installing this in a bare React Native app, you should also follow these additional installation instructions.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, TouchableOpacity, View, Platform } from 'react-native';
import { Barometer } from 'expo-sensors';
export default function App() {
const [{ pressure, relativeAltitude }, setData] = useState({ pressure: 0, relativeAltitude: 0 });
const [subscription, setSubscription] = useState(null);
const toggleListener = () => {
subscription ? unsubscribe() : subscribe();
};
const subscribe = () => {
setSubscription(Barometer.addListener(setData));
};
const unsubscribe = () => {
subscription && subscription.remove();
setSubscription(null);
};
return (

Barometer
Type: Class extends DeviceSensor<BarometerMeasurement>
addListener(listener)
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
listener | Listener<BarometerMeasurement> | A callback that is invoked when a barometer update is available. When invoked, the listener is provided with a single argument that is |
Subscribe for updates to the barometer.
Example
const subscription = Barometer.addListener(({ pressure, relativeAltitude }) => { console.log({ pressure, relativeAltitude }); });
Returns
A subscription that you can call remove()
on when you would like to unsubscribe the listener.
isAvailableAsync()
You should always check the sensor availability before attempting to use it.
Check the availability of the device barometer. Requires at least Android 2.3 (API Level 9) and iOS 8.
Returns
Promise<boolean>
A promise that resolves to a boolean
denoting the availability of the sensor.
removeSubscription(subscription)
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
subscription | Subscription | A subscription to remove. |
Removes the given subscription.
Returns
void
setUpdateInterval(intervalMs)
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
intervalMs | number | Desired interval in milliseconds between sensor updates.
|
Set the sensor update interval.
Returns
void
PermissionResponse
An object obtained by permissions get and request functions.
PermissionResponse Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
canAskAgain | boolean | Indicates if user can be asked again for specific permission. If not, one should be directed to the Settings app in order to enable/disable the permission. |
expires | PermissionExpiration | Determines time when the permission expires. |
granted | boolean | A convenience boolean that indicates if the permission is granted. |
status | PermissionStatus | Determines the status of the permission. |
BarometerMeasurement
The altitude data returned from the native sensors.
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
pressure | number | Measurement in hectopascals ( |
relativeAltitude (optional) | number | Only for: iOS Measurement in meters ( |
PermissionExpiration
Literal Type: multiple types
Permission expiration time. Currently, all permissions are granted permanently.
Acceptable values are: 'never'
number
Subscription
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
remove | () => void | - |
PermissionStatus
PermissionStatus Values
UNDETERMINED
PermissionStatus.UNDETERMINED = "undetermined"
User hasn't granted or denied the permission yet.
OS | Units | Provider | Description |
---|---|---|---|
iOS | hPa | CMAltimeter | Altitude events reflect the change in the current altitude, not the absolute altitude. |
Android | hPa | Sensor.TYPE_PRESSURE | Monitoring air pressure changes. |
Web | This sensor is not available on the web and cannot be accessed. An UnavailabilityError will be thrown if you attempt to get data. |
