# Blow Sensor

> Learn about the Blow Sensor component in PandaSuite, which allows you to create a blowing-related action on iOS and Android devices by utilizing the microphone saturation to recognize blow actions. This guide covers how to insert the Blow Sensor, customize its properties, and synchronize actions.

**The Blow sensor allows you to create a blowing-related action on an iOS & Android device.**

## How it works

The Blow sensor is based on the saturation of the microphone of the iOS & Android device: your user must blow at the microphone for his action to be recognized. Depending on the type of device, the microphone is not in the same place.

> **Warning**

> ⚠️ **Only for iOS & Android apps:** These features are only available for
> native apps.

## Insert the Blow Sensor

Click on **Components** and insert the **Blow Sensor**.

This is a System component, it has no visual representation in your screen but is accessible from **Objects**.

In the **Properties** panel, customize the Blow sensor:

- **Velocity:** the velocity allows you to match the speed of the action to the intensity of the breath felt
- **Duration:** choose the duration required to fully execute the action

## Create a time marker

To trigger an action after a specific time in your blow action, you need to create a time marker.

In the Objects List, click on the arrow of the Blow Sensor to enter its edit mode and add a time marker (see [Markers](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/interactions/markers/)).

In the **Actions** panel, choose this marker and associate it with the action of your choice.

## Synchronize an action with the blowing

It is possible to synchronize a blowing action with another component: the Scrolling Area, an Image Sequence, an Audio file etc...

If we take the example of the video, it is a question of synchronizing an image sequence with a breath action.

Add a [Synchronization](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/components/synchronization/) component and select the two components to synchronize.
