## Introduction<a name="section11660541593"></a>

Misc devices, including vibrators and LED indicators, are used to send signals externally. You can call APIs to control the vibration of vibrators and lighting-on and lighting-off of LED indicators.

## Constraints<a name="section98068674513"></a>

-   The APIs are valid only when your hardware is equipped with the required misc devices.
-   To use vibrators, you need to request the required permissions.

### How to Use<a name="section79302049192310"></a>

1.  Import the  **vibrator**  package.
2.  Trigger vibration with a specific duration.
3.  Stop vibration that is triggered with a specific duration.
4.  Trigger vibration with a specific effect.
5.  Stop vibration that is triggered with a specific effect.
6.  Query whether 'haptic. lock. timer' is supported. If so, vibrate the effectId.
7.  Stop all types of vibration.

The following sample code provides a complete process of using the vibrator APIs:

```
//Step 1 Import the vibrator package.
import vibrator from '@ohos.vibrator';
export default {
    onCreate() {
        console.info('MiscdeviceJsAPI AceApplication onCreate');
        // Step 2 Trigger vibration with a specific duration.
        try {
            vibrator.startVibration({
                type: 'time',
                duration: 1000,
            }, {
                id: 0,
                usage: 'alarm'
            }, (error) => {
                if (error) {
                    console.error('vibrate fail, error.code: ' + error.code + 'error.message: ', + error.message);
                    return;
                }
                console.log('Callback returned to indicate a successful vibration.');
            });
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('errCode: ' + error.code + ' ,msg: ' + error.message);
        }
        // Step 3 Stop vibration that is triggered with a specific duration.
        try {
            vibrator.stopVibration("time").then(() => {
                console.log("stopVibration success");
            }, (error)=>{
                console.log("stopVibration error:" + JSON.stringify(error));
            });
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Exception in, error:' + JSON.stringify(error));
        }
        // Step 4 Trigger vibration based on with a specific effect.
        try {
            vibrator.startVibration({
                type: 'preset',
                effectId: 'haptic.clock.timer',

            }).catch((error)=>{
                console.error('Promise returned to indicate a failed vibration:' + JSON.stringify(error));
            });
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('exception in, error:' + JSON.stringify(error));
        }
        // Step 5 Stop vibration that is triggered with a specific effect.
        try {
            vibrator.stopVibration("preset").then(() => {
