Ha ha that was so funny about the unicorn! Yea, I want one too! OK, here’s what happened:
Last night I was searching this fine community for “recessed door sensor” and landed here:
There’s where I saw people writing about a “red light”, meaning, the sensor stays hidden but a red light flashes (so it’s not all that hidden, which is why I’m seeking a recessed door sensor that doesn’t light itself up).
Here’s a quote from that webpage: “Completely hidden other than the red light.”
I kept surfing and landed here:
https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-aeon-multisensor-6-advanced/
Then I kept surfing and landed here:
https://community.smartthings.com/t/best-lux-sensor/
That’s where I found out about “lux”. I was really too sleepy and I made the wrong assumption that Aeon recessed door sensors measured lux. Sorry - I’m a newbie.
It appears Aeon does make a door sensor that measures lux, but not a recessed one of course.
So I guess recessed door sensors can only report that the door has been opened or closed, and the battery status. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Does anyone know of a brand that doesn’t light itself up? (And tips on coupons/good deals on recessed door sensors are welcome of course.)
