Is it possible to read sensor data in a script?

[Jorge Adrián Muñoz Velasco]

Particularly, I need to read the light or hearing sensor from a  Google Script linked to a FormApp.. Does anyone know of any APIs to read sensor data?

I was trying to implement this W3C code, but failed.

window.addEventListener("devicelight", function (event) {
  var luminosity = event.value;
  console.log(luminosity);
});

FormApp is a Google service that runs on Google's servers.  FormApp will only run in a "gs" file. But

window.addEventListener

is a DOM method that can only run in the users browser from a HTML <script> tag.

A Google Form doesn't have any way to allow you to modify the HTML, CSS and JavaScript in the browser.

You can build your own input form using an Apps Script Web App, which would allow you to use addEventListener()

Even use GAS Web App you need to confirm your device can be connected by Google Server.

[Rubén Rivera]

Google Apps Script can't listen to any DOM event that occurs on a form respondent view. Some developers created a Chrome Extension that works together with the form but some others find this to be overkilling.
