Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As is already known, the sensor does not work reliably (or at all) in a lot of light

Describe the solution you'd like A practical solution would be if every Roode device had a "manual mode" switch. When this is activated, the sensor does nothing - but the number entity can still be controlled via correction automations for example via PIR or radar sensors. That way I could automatically disable the device if the outdoor brightness is high and specific windows or window blinds are open, but still use the number entity for room automations.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I like the idea to have a kill switch because the issue you describe is present and not solvable for me.
