As already stated, this device is HomeKit compatible, so whichever way you decide to add this, it will show up in the Home app, as well as third-party apps, like Eve for HomeKit, for example. In the Home app, the device is represented with just the one tile and one service, as expected. The tile will show the current Lux reading, and this reading is also shown in the first splash screen after you long press on the tile to access the settings. In terms of settings themselves, you’ll notice there’s no option to add it to a scene as such, and you can’t use it in any automations in Home, as light readings are still not supported in this app. They are supported in third-party apps, however, and as you can see above, I’m able to use the light readings from the sensor as a trigger for an automation in the Eve app. I’d like to know if anyone know of any zigbee motion sensors that are capable of updating every 10 seconds or less. Centralite: The sensors themselves don't store any user data, only Zigbee network data. User data is stored in the hub or the hub's cloud; data is encrypted in the cloud in the hubs we know of. I am making an Environment Sensor that would read Temperature, Humidity, pressure and light level of a room. you’ll have to replace your current switches with newer, advanced ones. Switches are more cost-effective

Centralite: Some smart-home systems that Centralite devices connect to allow local access via the home’s LAN as well as remotely through the cloud. Others are always cloud-dependent.I have been looking for an ambient light sensor to use with other IoT smart home devices. In my opinion this would be a commonly requested device for controlling internal lighting. For example if you had smart lighting, you may want to turn the lights off if the sun is shining brightly or turn the lights on if it's cloudy. Weather services could help, but ambient light at the location would be far more reliable. it can detect from 0 - 3000 lux, so although it won't detect bright sunlight, it should be able to tell between overcast and sunny conditions

But they have the problem that they take between 60 and 150 seconds to detect movement again, so I must have the lights on during that time if I do not want to stay in the dark in case of passing twice in that period of time.

You'll configure the radio using your free Device Cloud account. (Note that radios can also be configured using XCTU.) NOTE: If your radio was recently configured by the XBee ZigbeeCloud Kit then the sampling rate and pin settings are already set. You can safely skip these steps.

Mi Light Sensor (review) - Homekit News and Reviews Mi Light Sensor (review) - Homekit News and Reviews

When the new HomeKit compatible Mi smart Gateway was released around mid-December in China, it was also accompanied by the Mi Light Sensor, which was first spotted ‘in the wild’ when beta testers for the Mi Smart Gateway, who had also been supplied with the aforementioned sensor, started posting pics of the devices on Chinese social media platforms like Weibo. Both the new gateway and the sensor soon made their way to places like GearBest, AliExpress and Banggood, making them finally available to the wider world. So today, armed with this new sensor, we’ll take a look at this device and try and find out if it’s any good, and if we can actually find a use for it!

Regardless of whether you’re signed into the Aqara app or not (HomeKit Mode), you can still add this device, and it will also appear as a device in the Aqara Home app once added. It will also be exposed to HomeKit and the Home app as normal. To access light reading data, or to create automations in the Aqara app, you will need to be signed into the app though. Once signed in, you can simply tap on the icon for the sensor, and a window will drop down halfway showing a chart for light readings in daily or weekly format. this window can be fully dragged down to make it fill the screen.Enter " 100-(value/1000*100)" to transform the input from millivolts to a simple percentage from 0 to 100. The calculation takes the input value, scales to a decimal, then multiplies by 100 to get a percentage value. Since is technically the percentage of darkness we subtract it from 100 to flip it to the percentage of brightness. I too tried to connect it there but without success, because Xiaomi light sensor are not supported by Phoscon App (actually).

Zigbee Motion Sensors (And Why You Should Get One) Guide to Zigbee Motion Sensors (And Why You Should Get One)

I am a new owner of Hubitat. I only get the hub yesterday. I am a long time Smartthings user. Home automation becomes a hobby. I did get to the point where I make my own sensor. Improve home automation systems by integrating a ZIGBEE smart switch from our stunning Sunricher range. A ZigBee Sensor (or switch) is a ZIGBEE device that can be controlled by a ZigBee hub or controller. This will allow you to control a connected light by turning it on or off through your smart home devices.Once paired to the mesh network the switch can be programmed and controlled by an app or compatible This isn’t the first device to use a light sensor by any means, and there are plenty of quite capable devices that include a light sensor, but none of these is dedicated to the sole task of measuring light. In terms of the competition, I’ve put this up against a mainstay device in my home – the Philips Hue Motion Sensor. The Hue is around three times the cost of the Mi Sensor, but then it has three times the services – light, motion, temperature – each of which are exposed to HomeKit. It’s also part of the Hue family and so uses Zigbee just like the Mi light Sensor, which means it’s fast. That said, the light readings only change every five minutes, unless motion is detected, so if you’re looking for regularly updated light readings that don’t rely on motion, then the Mi light sensor is a better option. Indeed, if you really have no need for motion and temperature sensors, then it really does fit the bill quite well. I did find light readings from both sensors to be impressively close, within 1 or 2 lux of each other when they did differ. With either device, you’re reliant on the relevant hub, so it does depend on which you have (if you’ve got both, so much the better).
