LUX and illuminance sensors #296

Closed dankarization closed 1 year ago

dankarization commented 1 year ago

Now we can only restrict entity controller from turning on by start and end time + boolean override entities, but illuminance sensors, included in almost all motion sensors available on the market, would make automations even more smart. It would be great to have an option to include one or more numerical lux sensors to control behaviour, and turn on the lights when lux is less than some selected value. For now, the only way to do this is to create some technical boolean sensor, turning on and off by separate automation based on lux values

I'm sure there are binary sensors with numeric thresholds that can be used in stead of those separate automations you mentioned.
