Internal Device Temp: Data Field

Few things here.  The internal temp is only available on devices with a baro altimeter. On some watches, the temperature in Sensor.Info only has a value if a Tempe is paired and connected.  On some, it will be the internal temp until a Tempe connects.  Watches (current ones) allow you to get the data with the newest sample in SensorHistory.getTemperatureHistory. (edge devivices son't have SensorHistory.

getting the value in Senor using a background service is pretty simple, but you need to understand what you are getting on various device.  Other than the basics for a background service, all you really need is this:

function onTemporalEvent() {
    var t=Sensor.getInfo().temperature;
    Background.exit(t);
}

Thanks!! For my recent data fields, they are exclusively for EDGE devices for cyclists. All modern EDGE devices have a barometer and an internal temp sensor (maybe the same chip as the baro?). The 1040 actually does support a Tempe. If a 1040 is paired with a Tempe then no additional code is needed, right? It'll use the internal temp or Tempe if that exists?

When I call Sensor.getInfo().temperature directly is tells me that call isn't supported for Data Fields. So that call is supported, just needs to be via a temporalEvent?

Yes
