Lights OFF command with a lux threshold?

[onetrav (Travis Muszynski)]

Hey everyone. I searched and have not found a good app that can turn lights off using a lux value. A lot of them turn lights on but I want one that will send the off command to turn them off above a certain lux value. It would be awesome if this could just be built into an existing app. I find that Bright When Dard And/Or Bright After Sunset is the most reliable way to control my lights. I have a routine set up to turn the lights off at an offset from sunrise. I wish Routines had a lux option. It’s far more reliable than sunrise/sunset functions and accounts for overcast days.

Auto Dimmer smartApp (Sept 2015 V2 update)

I couldn’t find anything like this, so here it is. Brighten or dim lights based on configurable lux thresholds, three settings, 4 dimmer ranges. Settings for each dimmer can be set individually to override the defaults if desired. App subscribes to each dimmers on() event, then adjusts the levels to those specified. Been using this for several months, wife and I like a lot. The app only adjusts levels when the dimmer is initially turned on, so manual adjustments aren’t changed. The current lux selection ranges are set up around a wideband lux sensor, such as a Figaro with an exterior exposure. A major update for all the fans out there: (Sept 2015) -Entire front end re done in dynamic pages, lots of them. -Added option for per dimmer dynamic adjustment based on lux changes, allowin…

Thank you. I have seen that but haven’t tried it yet, but I will.
