Has anyone successfully used the getUnit() method? If so, how? My way (learned from ST's doc) doesn't work, while this very same code with the same device returned "lux" in ST, at least as far as I can remember...
def latest = sensor.currentState("illuminance")
log.debug "unit: ${latest.unit}"On my my sensors (Aeon Multisensor 6), this returns "null"...
Sorry can't help, but switched your post to developers and tagged methods. Should get a response.
May I ask why you need the unit? Illuminance is in Lux in HE. That is the unit that shows up on a dashboard if you pick the Illuminance Tile.
Seems like a bug in Hubitat. currentState(...).unit or latestState(...).unit returns null for all of my devices. I wonder if it is going to be fixed.
Some devices return it in %, in ST at least and at the time of that post I was still porting my code from ST to HE.
Weird.. Illuminance % doesn’t make sense .. 0% would obviously mean no light.. But 100% would be an arbitrary value
It actually makes sense so the device handler reevaluates its maxima so the app doesn't have to it (as my app does it now).
