Asus UX430 light sensor don't report the good values

[yodatak]

Sorry if it's not the good place to make the report , but with running i got the same reporting of 400 lux even when i hide the sensor , and it do have in gnome the automatic lightning switch but i think its a driver issue or something ?

So there is the debuging :

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/sbin/iio-sensor-proxy

Or monitor-sensor i got

monitor-sensor                           
    Waiting for iio-sensor-proxy to appear
+++ iio-sensor-proxy appeared
=== No accelerometer
=== Has ambient light sensor (value: 400.000000, unit: lux)

with this i got

gdbus introspect --system --dest net.hadess.SensorProxy --object-path /net/hadess/SensorProxy

      readonly d LightLevel = 400.0;
  };
  node Compass {

};

400

It seem my light sensor is /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ACPI0008:00 and i think its this can't help but not sure https://github.com/danieleds/Asus-Zenbook-Ambient-Light-Sensor-Controller

Thanks for the helping !

If the value reported by iio-sensor-proxy matches the value reported by the driver, then iio-sensor-proxy is working correctly. You'll need to report the bug to the driver maintainer, either directly or through your distribution.

Thanks for helping , its a driver issue so i opend a issue on kernel here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198709

Just place this for tracking
