I'm finding the illuminance sensor is pretty much useless on its own. It seems to bounce around randomly, at least in the low light conditions I'm using them (even during the day lux values don't get beyond the 20-30 range), gets chatty when motion is active and then doesn't report for long periods of time.
Anybody else have this experience? I am using the Zigbee version:
got a reply on range , the typical range will be around 10 meters, which is about 30f. I did notice after a week the one in the hallway is noticing thing in the whole hallway now, but not the one in the kitchen, Mabey I will move the one in the kitchen to see if that does better
I have the matter version of this and running into some issues, hoping someone can help. I initially set up the device with Apple Home, generated the Matter code, and added the device to Hubitat. Whenever I try to create a rule with this for a certain color (i.e., red), it says that it's outputting "red", but the color is like a light pink/purple color. Can't seem to get it to show the colors accurately.
Should I delete it from Apple Homekit and repair it using the 3r Matter app and then add it to Hubitat from there? Or any other ideas to get this to work correctly? In the Apple Home app it shows it's on firmware v1.00.51
I am guessing thats just normal for the device.
Have you tried setting the color from Apple Home directly? Can you get red from there?
This ^^^^
I have mine set to red in my rule, but the color is also more magenta-ish...see below. Color accuracy isn't a big deal for me as I only have two states, door/window open or unlocked (light on/"red"), vs. all closed (light off).
If you were going to try to communicate a bunch of different states you'll have to get used to the "relaxed" color accuracy on these guys. I haven't tested any other colors.
Yeah, I just use the the set color command map to set it, then I can get deep reds out of it. The set color map is also very handy for a one shot command for setting hue, saturation, and level.
I also wrote a little companion app and driver for mine, so I can command red and have it set the proper color map for what I actually want to see.
Now the cat is out of the bag, and you know peeps are going to start asking... 
I actually prefer the magenta, as my wife is very "reactive" to stuff like this and the magenta works as a reminder for her (check the doors and windows before you leave the house, one or more of them is open/unlocked), while red makes her feel more like something bad happened/is about to happen. I previously was turning a light red to communicated this state and she didn't like it bering red. 
YWMV (your wife may vary ) of course.
Same here. In the bedroom, it fades in and out of red when the heat is on. When the Roborock bedroom vacuum is full, it turns on green to let me know I need to empty it.
The one in my kitchen turns color for the speed the stove hood fan is on (I automated the fan hood with Zigbee relays, and now there is no speed display), so I use yellow for low, orange for medium, and red for high. That one also tells me when there is mail in the mailbox by blinking green.
Yeah, I was going to use mine for illuminance, but they are just horrible. It does not react at all to slight changes, which I need to drive my indoor lights to a light level. It also is just too low in an outlet to get a good sense of how bright the room is.
Then I realized that my Limptech presence sensors also do illuminance, and they actually work well for that, so I started using those instead, and I retired my Fibaro sensor that I was using for indoor light sensing, and moved it into my greenhouse.
Woah! 
Impressive list of uses. Sadly, I am limited by my wife's general dislike of HA stuff, and when I had one of the nightlights doing double duty (magenta for doors/windows open/closed check, and blue for HVAC running/door or window open) she told me that was "too much." Her world, I just live in it.
Yup, my SO really has no interest in any of my automations, but she puts up with it as long as it is nothing too annoying. I get more of a "whatever" eye roll when I add things like that.
She really thinks the bedroom night light coming on when the heat is running is pretty pointless, but I just think it is just fun. I do use the light sensor on the bedroom night light to NOT do any of the signals when it is dark in the room, so it does not disturb us at night.
Maybe you and I can find a place together? 
I am fortunate. My wife actually likes this stuff as much as me. I have the zigbee version and have 5 throughout the house. 4 are used as night lights. On at sunset and off at sunrise. If we have mail in the mailbox they turn blue, if the freezer temp gets to high they turn red, white for the nightlight. I have one that is dedicated strictly to showing if HSM is armed. I have a rule that when I am my alarm system it also arms HSM. Long story but I want the redundancy. When HSM arms then the light is green. Off when it is disarmed.
!!!!!
I know it's rare.
My SO tolerates my smart home obsession. 
I’ve been loving my Night Lights, but I do wish I had more control over the motion sensors. Especially since these plug straight into the wall, I would love the ability to fully tweak sensitivity, detection cooldowns, etc. has anyone found a way to do this?
Also, I’ve been curious if anyone has tried the Matter AND Zigbee ones and has thoughts on preferences? I just recently got into Zigbee and thought these would be excellent as repeaters.
I'm trying to do this in Room Lighting, but can't set the color command map. Can only select colors form a list or input a HEX or RGB code Any ideas? I need the red as it's mostly used as a low level light that turns on at night if we need to get up to use the restroom. Red helps with night vision so want to get that deep red also.
It worked out that my kitchen night light was put in the counter level outlet in the kitchen to be next to the stove, which put it looking sideways across the sink area. I took my sink light off the room automation and tied it to the motion sensor on the light, and it works perfectly at that range and height to only turn the sink light on when someone is in front of the sink.
On the bedroom light, I just added the motion detection to the group that already had two other sensors for the room, and it does add a bit of low-level motion coverage.
Otherwise, yeah, they leave something to be desired for motion. I was hoping to use one in my hallway, since I had an outlet right in the middle, but it only saw me in the hallway when I was right in front of it. It needs a wider coverage area option for hallways and other lengthy areas.
Well, in that case it should be sending the values you choose in the color picker, so if you choose RGB, you want the spectrum slider full left (or R:255,G:0,B:0)
I am sending an actual map from a custom app, so that is why I am using the setColor command with hue to set my colors. Hue is a 360 circle, so red is both 0 and 360.
colorSet = "[hue:0,saturation:100,level:50]" //red half dim level
rgbBulb.setColor(evaluate(colorSet))
My full-on red is pretty red with these.

SOLD!. After reading this thread, I have one (for testing) arriving today.
Heck, I don't even have a useful spot or application for it
