"There are more sensors that will be unlocked with future products. Lego's Smart Brick app explains that the brick's built-in microphone is currently disabled and will need an update if that changes. It's possible these features will require a software update to unlock: ambient light, position, and orientation as missing out of the gate."
"The Smart Bricks do have other working sensors. The NFC reader registers nearby Smart Tiles through as many as seven Lego plates (roughly 22mm), and almost every interaction uses motion sensing. The color sensor detects red, green, and blue objects held up to the side of the Smart Brick when it's flashing its LED."
Lego's first Smart Brick sets, based on Star Wars, ship with multiple sensors currently disabled and unavailable for use. The sound-detecting microphone, ambient light sensor, fine distance measurement, position, and orientation sensors are not enabled at launch. Lego Smart Brick sound designer Elysha Zaide confirmed these features will be unlocked with future products. The built-in microphone is currently disabled and requires a software update to become functional. Active sensors include the NFC reader, motion sensing, and color sensor. Multi-brick interactions allow devices to register hits when blasted by other Smart Bricks.
