Zigbee light sensor

Hi. Want to buy just a light sensor. Already have motion sensors in the hall and already use Aqara T1 light sensors elsewhere. Doesn't look like Aqara make these any more, so I wondered if there was an alternative.

I want to keep the light sensor separate from the motion sensors as the right spot for for making decisions on the light levels is not the spot where the motion sensors sit at the moment.

Thanks

Not exactly what you asked for but will do what you want. Hue motion sensor does lux/light admirably well. Just ignore the motion capability. Long lasting batteries as well. I use one on a window sill looking out for rules based on outdoor brightness. No Hue hub required, pairs directly to Hubitat.

If you search for "lux sensor" you should find a number of posts that you won't find looking for "light sensor."

I think you will find that most Lux sensors come integrated with other devices, usually motion sensors. As @bbrannon mentioned, you can just ignore whatever other sensor type is bundled on the sensor with Lux.

There is this sensor on Amazon that does only lux. I'm pretty sure one of the @kkossev drivers would work with it since it is Tuya Zigbee.

This one looks to b e a winner. AAA batteries, easy to pair. Most reviewers are happy with it. Half the price of the Hue.

I would suspect that this driver below would work? It is a multi-device driver that can be used for many things. Maybe @kkossev can chime in on that. I don't want to mislead you that it will definitely work with that driver.

From an Amazon review. "Installing the user developed Tuya Zigbee light sensor driver available on Hubitat Package Manager, it works perfectly."
