Hi, Thanks for your comments. But I am not sure what your "type" mean. If you mean "sensor type", I expose it as second ACC, the sensor type is the same with the exist ACC, It cannot be used as a distinction. If you mean the "connection type" I used in the patch, "connection type" is only defined in HID driver, It is not a common property in IIO. So not good to expose it out.

I've been told in the past not to rely on device names in iio-sensor- proxy, and this would go against this advice. As you have a "type" to export, why not export that instead? ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{��)��^n�r������&��z�ޗ�zf���h���~����������_��+v���)ߣ�
