Database Model for Various Type of Sensors

I am planning to build a database that will store sensor value for various type of sensors in a factory building. Is there any best practice on how to do this? - Option 1 : should I integrate all sensors into a single database like this Table Sensor --- SensorID SensorType SensorDesc Table SensorReadings --- SensorReadingID SensorID ReadingDateTime ReadingValue - Option 2 : Or should I put each sensor type into separate table? Table TemperatureSensor --- SensorID SensorDesc Table TemperatureSensorReadings --- SensorReadingID SensorID ReadingDateTime ReadingValue (double) Table MotionSensor --- SensorID SensorDesc Table MotionSensorReadings --- SensorReadingID SensorID ReadingDateTime ReadingValue (integer) Considering that various types of sensor tables will have similar fields but potentially different reading data types (some of them are integer and some of them are doubles, etc). Is it logical to separate the tables for each sensors? Or keep using a single table for every type of sensors? - Which one is the best practice to implement such database if there might be various types of sensors to be added in the future? - Which one can be better optimized for performance? Thank you
