Hue indoor sensor luminance sensitivity

May '22 - Is there a way for Hubitat to adjust the luminance sensitivity of a Hue Motion Sensor? In the room where I have mine, the luminance reading from the sensor is "0" in daytime when the lights are off and "6" when the overhead light is on. I have shades on my windows, but the room is light enough for me to read.

Set Lux reporting to happen on a change of 1 lux. That way a change of 0 to 6 detected by your sensor will definitely generate an event, which you can use as an automation trigger.

By default, lux events are generated when there's a change of 10 lux. But the driver permits setting that to 1 lux.

What setting are you using for Lux Reporting?
You might try the log10 functions for better results. Some details can be found here:

2.2.4 - Philips Hue Motion sensor Lux reporting updates

Previous versions of this driver included simple value based options for Lux level change reporting. While simple to implement, in practice it generates too few or too many events, and the distribution of them across the values doesn't follow perceived level changes. In other words, a 10 Lux change from 5 to 15 has a much higher perceived value change (very noticeable) than that same change at 3000 Lux, which isn't noticeable at all, and using simple value based changes doesn't account for thi…
