How to access the Galaxy S5 temperature sensor?

In manual on page 19 there is information about the temperature sensor in S5.

A temperature and humidity sensor allows the device to read both temperature and humidity. This is useful for calculating calories burned in S Health.

But I can not find any data on how to use this sensor.

Has anyone found any way to use this sensor in our own application?

EDIT

Please note: if you install any third-party temperature application, it will say that your device (S5) does not have a temperature sensor . Therefore, I cannot use the standard code to access the sensor because the sensor was not detected. But Samsung SS Health uses this sensor, and I'm not sure which API it uses.

Galaxy S5 does not have temperature and humidity sensors, unlike S4. Samsung announced this and close to the publisher decided not to send it. It seems that the reason is that these two sensors could not work together with the waterproof function.

S The health app has the ability to measure body temperature, but its API is currently hidden. This means that we don’t know if it measures temperature through external devices (Gear) or can measure it using a heart rate sensor. We also don’t know if it can measure air temperature (maybe not).
