Missing device: lightSensor

[grau]

Using this API in my home automation and really love it! But I found, that there is a device missing: My VALLHORN Motion sensors not only provide their data as "motionSensor" but addionally the room illuminance as "lightSensor". I just appended a datagram that I got from one of my motion sensors.

Would be cool, if you could add it. Thanks ahead!

{
  "id": "Some ID",
  "relationId": "Some other ID",
  "type": "unknown",
  "deviceType": "lightSensor",
  "createdAt": "2024-09-08T10:44:07.000Z",
  "isReachable": true,
  "lastSeen": "2024-10-19T19:36:01.000Z",
  "attributes": {
    "customName": "",
    "model": "VALLHORN Wireless Motion Sensor",
    "manufacturer": "IKEA of Sweden",
    "firmwareVersion": "1.0.64",
    "hardwareVersion": "1",
    "serialNumber": "Some serial",
    "productCode": "E2134",
    "illuminance": 1,
    "identifyStarted": "2000-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "identifyPeriod": 0,
    "permittingJoin": false
  },
  "capabilities": {
    "canSend": [],
    "canReceive": [
      "customName"
    ]
  },
  "deviceSet": [],
  "remoteLinks": [],
  "isHidden": false
}

Some additional things I found out:

• The "customName" attribute seems to be empty by default and cannot be changed via app. Setting custom name via api works fine.
• The relation id matches the relation id of the motionSensor
• The id matches the id of the motion sensor - difference is, motion sensor id ends with "_1", lightSensor with "_3"

This is very interesting, I've not seen a device that shows up as two different entities on the hub before. Thanks for the data dump!

Looks like these should have their own dedicated client.lightSensors.list() and client.lightSensors.get(...)API for providing theilluminance` attribute. So the VALLHORN sensor would then appear both in the motion sensors and in the light sensors list but with different data attributes.

I'll add the support for this soon!

Version 1.2.0 is published to npm with the added lightSensor functionality.

Thanks a lot for your fast response! Works like a charm!
