I bought an Aeotec Multisensor 6 specifically for measuring Lux indoors and returned it (something I very rarely do) because it wasn't sensitive enough despite their website stating:
Automated lighting is only as smart as the system that powers it. With MultiSensor 6’s real-time, digital light sensor measuring the level of light in a room, your home control system will be able to intelligently maintain its ambiance. From opening and closing curtains, to setting lights to be the perfect level be it day or night, MultiSensor 6 is the smarts behind smart lighting.
When contacting their text support via email, I was informed:
the sensor is not accurate as it does not have a fresnel lens to help focus light into its sensor. It requires more directional lighting into one of the holes on the front of the sensor (non-LED one) to capture more lighting.
So back it went to Amazon. The room lux value portion of my home lighting is on hold for the duration. I have a lot of other projects in the works and decided to get my hands on one of Iharyadi's sensors first. Since I only have 5 rooms here, it shouldn't be very expensive to impliment.
