An electronic device, e.g. a sensor device (41), is configured to receive a sensor signal from an electromagnetic radiation sensor (43), determine an orientation of the electromagnetic radiation sensor (43) based on said sensor signal or based on an orientation signal received from an orientation sensor (4) comprised in said electromagnetic radiation sensor, and transmit the sensor signal to one of a plurality of devices or applications in dependence on the determined orientation. The plurality of devices or applications comprises a first device or application, e.g. a light control device or application, and a second device or application, e.g. a security device or application. The plurality of devices or applications may also comprise a third device or application, e.g. a people counting device or application.
