Which sensor code are you using?

When I wrote it originally, there were no arbitrary limits on how many
objects the mapper could cache or return, but considering how big your
responses will be, I'm guessing you're hitting the dbus per-message
limit.  You don't mention if you're seeing any errors in the
journalctl log from either the broker or object manager.  That might
give you more clues.
