Inspired by @takissd 's Weather Station Tile 2.0, I’m looking to create a virtual outdoor illuminance sensor. I would then use this to more intelligently turn on my indoor lights, ie turn them on a little sooner when its cloudy out, etc. I’m wondering if anyone with an actual outdoor illuminance s…

This devicetype is built into the ide, but have to add it to devices manually SmartThingsCommunity/SmartThingsPublic/blob/master/devicetypes/smartthings/smartweather-station-tile.src/smartweather-station-tile.groovy /** * Copyright 2015 SmartThings * * Licensed under the Apache License…

Yeah, this is exactly what inspired me - the method for calculating the virtual lux value seems awfully arbitrary. I’m just looking to get some real data to: A) see how good the above method is at estimating, or B) improve the above method. For example, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight …

The Aeon multisensor is compatible with SmartThings and outdoor-rated for everything except its motion sensor. (The motion sensor’s intended to only be used indoors as it gets too many false positives outdoors.) it can measure luminance, temperature, and humidity. MultiSensor 6: Z-Wave m…

I’m 90% sure the bloomsky device does true outdoor lux values, kind of overkill but you might be interested in its other features? www.bloomsky.com There is a community device (written by an ST employee tslagle) that works well with it.

The Fibaro multi does a great gob with outdoor lux. Measures up to 32k lux. I’ve had one mounted outside for almost two years now, just for measuring lux. You’re welcome to my pacific Northwest data if you tell me where you want it.

If you wouldn’t mind fishing out hourly lux values for both a sunny day and maybe an overcast day, that would be enough to get me going. I just want to get a better understanding of outdoor lux as a function of time, relative to sunrise/sunset.

Hello Mike, To capture the data, do you use something like : [image] [OBSOLETE] Log events to Google Sheets [see post /36719/154 for Github repo and v1.1] Community Created SmartApps Deleted <20 characters> LJ

I was using numerous until it went belly up, honestly I have no need for archived data sets.
