Outside light levels (Lux) #318

Closed toqduj closed 7 years ago

toqduj commented 7 years ago

I'm making another MKR1000-based wireless SignalK sensor for mounting on deck, this one containing a humidity, pressure, temperature and light level sensor. I noticed there's no entry in the SignalK specifications for outside light levels. Such a reading would be useful, for example for automatically dimming instrument lights based on the available levels.

I'd suggest the following: /vessels//environment/outside/illuminance

Units: Lux (Lux)

Description: Current outside ambient light flux.

Makes sense to me. Would you be able to add this to the schema file and add a test?

toqduj commented 7 years ago

I would, but I have no idea how (so would need to learn first), and too swamped with work tasks to add this to my list. I'll have to take a rain check on this one!
