i may put up with a few it depends how often. and if they are even correct as mentioned the above didnt even work.. only reported 1 lux even when my phone was direct in its face with flashlight on.
i personally think every 5 secs is too frequent.. and there was supposed to be a lux sensitivity setting but looking at the driver it appears that was just (you?) filtering out the reports .. ie there is no way to set the sensitivity directly into a parameter on the device? it would be easy enough to do in the device f/w ... not sure why they dont do it.
I am hopeing for not more often reports than every 15-30 secs anyway.. or i may have to try a new fp1 (if i can find one reasoneably priced) or one of the 4-1 pir motion that are not overly chatty. unfort. those are not avail. on amazon and i already have a dispute open with alli (through paypal) for one that was never shipped..
But my feeling is that fp1 was reliable when ported over to the c8 but not when paired directly.
when mine stopped working and i had to re-pair it is when it became unreliable.. really weird to report correctly for a few days than stop reporting motion and just temp.. If it was not paired correctly motion should have never worked .. again really strange. Only thing i can think of to explain this is that it only worked correctly depending on which repeater it was going through.
