Illuminance Sensor Channel

Detects ambient light levels, typically measured in lux, to monitor brightness in a space.

Required Properties

Property Details

density

Represents the current illuminance density detected by the sensor:

• Measured in lux (lx).
• Reflects the real-time light intensity in the environment.

level

Provides a qualitative assessment of the light conditions:

• Possible values:

  • bright: High light intensity (e.g., daylight indoors or direct sunlight).
  • moderate: Adequate lighting for most tasks (e.g., office lighting).
  • dusky: Low light conditions (e.g., evening or heavily shaded areas).
  • dark: Very low or no light (e.g., nighttime without artificial lighting).

• Mapping to measured Lux:

  • bright: > 10,000 lx
  • moderate: 1,000–10,000 lx
  • dusky: 100–1,000 lx
  • dark: < 100 lx

Optional Properties

Property Details

active

Indicates the channel’s current working status:

• true: The sensor is active and functioning correctly.
• false: The sensor is inactive or non-functional.

fault

Represents the fault state of the sensor:

• 0: No fault detected.
• Non-zero: A fault has been detected, potentially affecting functionality.
